Specializes in Family Medicine

Yellow is normal: Urine is normally colored yellow. If you drink a lot of water, the yellow color is fainter. If you take in less liquid, the urine is more concentrated and is a darker yellow.

I have recently cut out soft drinks in an effort to live more healthy. After I did this my urine went dark yellow in the morning. As I drink water in the day it gets clear. Is this normal. No pain and I feel better than when I was on soft drinks.
