No: Jaundice applies to skin color, not to urine color. Urine color variation is normal and it reflects your body' s hydration level.

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.
