  • Clear mucus If your boogers are clear, you're in good shape. Clear is the natural, healthy color of your mucus.
  • Yellow mucus If your snot is yellow, you may have a problem. Yellow mucus often signifies something damaged up in nose-land. You may have a sinus infection with a blocked nasal passage, which can turn into chronic sinusitis. You may have nasal polyps or even bronchitis. If you have yellow boogers for several days -- especially with sinus pain -- you should probably call your doctor.
  • Green mucus Slimy green boogers are just as bad as yellow ones. Bacteria are usually to blame for green snot, but you may also see the color change to green from irritants like smoke or pollution. You may find green stuff coming out more when you cough than when you blow your nose, but it can come out either way. Out is always better than in! Chances are, if you're coughing up green stuff, you've got an inflammation in the bronchial tubes in your lungs.
  • Brown mucus My boogers are a gross shade of grey or brown if I've spent the evening out at a smoky bar. If your sinuses are swollen, you may find blood mingling with your boogers, turning them icky dark colors. Smoking and drinking alcohol can make things worse.
  • White mucus White is probably the rarest of all booger colors. But don't think you've won the jackpot if your snot is white, unless you're hoping for a medical jackpot. White mucus can be caused by certain dairy foods. If you are experiencing congestion and pressure in your sinuses and drink milk, you may see your mucus turn white.

What does it mean when your snot is blue?

Clear snot is straight mucus, which is the secretion of the mucus glands of the nasal cavity. This is normal, and everyone should have a small amount of clear snot on a regular basis - this is what traps the large dust particles and keeps them out of your lungs. Green and yellow snot is mucus mixed with dead inflammatory cells; the color is hard to correlate with a particular inflammatory cell, as the majority of them will be dead neutrophils. Colored snot tends to indicate an infection in the nasal cavity, although a slight yellow color to snot can be normal. Snot changing colors from clear to green to yellow means you were free of infection, then you had an upper respiratory infection, then it was cleared up by your body's defenses.
