Urine consists of excess water and waste products that have been filtered from the blood by the kidneys. Its natural yellow color is due to excretion of urochrome, a pigment from blood. Depending on the amount of fluids you drink, your urine can range in color from almost clear (diluted) to dark orange (concentrated).
Most changes in urine color are temporary and caused by foods you eat or medications you take. However, sometimes an abnormal urine color can indicate a serious disease. If you're concerned about the color of your urine, especially if you notice blood in it or the color change lasts more than one day, consult your doctor.

I read in a magazine years ago that if you are getting all the necessary nutrients, it will be clear. Even a healthy person can have yellow pee though.

The clearer it is, the more hydrated you are, generally speaking. If you're drinking enough water, and no other negative health conditions exist, your urine should be very clear.

If you drink the proper amount of water to keep you hydrated, your urine should be clear and almost colorless.

Which is like a straw color.
To dark yellow or orange usually means you are not drinking enough water.

light yellow. The more liquid you drink the clearer it should get. If it is too dark you need to drink more, or have an infection.
