Generally, the darker yellow the more concentrated the urine and you need to drink more liquids to keep the color clear or light yellowcolored. It is better for your kidneys to drink lots of fluids to keep the urine less concentrated. Some things you eat or drink can also affect the urine color such as asparagus I've heard can turn it green.

Yellow or dark urine means you may be dehydrated and need to drink more water.The more often you pee the more waste you are getting out of your body.So clear urine or light yellow is good.
Also orange or green urine can mean that your body cannot process certain dyes (like myself) and certain medications can affect your urine's color as well.Orange urine can also mean blood in the urine and will need to be checked out by the doctor to make sure that you don't have a kidney infection or bleeding stomach ulcers.

clear urine means a lot of fluids are in your system. Vitamin C will also turn your urine a bright yellow color, but for the most part, the clearer the better

That you are hydrated. Dark yellow isn't good and light yellow urine is normal but clear means you're healthy.

It just has to do with the amount of water you have been drinking the more water you drink the clearer your urine will be. Dark urine often indicates that you are dehydrated. Taking large amounts of multi vitamins will also cause your urine to be darker or brightly colored

Clear urine can either be due to excess consumption of fluids, or liver disorders such as hepatitis or cirrhohsis. Dark yellow or gold can signify dehydration or recent use of laxatives or consumption of B complex vitamins or carotene.

darker the color the more dehydrated you are. vary dark urine shows you have a dangerous level of dehydration.
I have a chart that shows the colors but there is no way to post it here, do a web search for something like military urine hydration chart or something like that.
drink water!

Clear urine is good, you are well hydrated and your kidneys are flushed. You want it that way. Dark urine your probably dehydrated or maybe have an infection.

dark yellw may be an infection
when the urine is clear, with not too much smell, is that you are hydrated. and if it is very yellow and strong urine smell, it tells you that you shoud drink more fluids
