Spinal fluid, also known as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is typically clear and colorless. However, if there is an underlying condition or infection, it may appear cloudy or have a yellowish tint. These changes can indicate various medical issues, such as infections or bleeding in the central nervous system. Regular, healthy CSF should maintain its clear appearance.
