But when I blow my nose, my snot is yellow. I mean dark yellow. Not the regular colored yellow of snot. What is wrong?

Yellow usually indicates infection. You might want to get checked out

most likely you have a sinus infection or your breathing in alot of dirt . Press on your temples on your head and under your eyes . If this hurts I would go see a doctor you might need a antibiotic for a severe sinus infection.
Nasal washes would also help . go buy a suction bulb , mix a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water . squirt up your nose till it runs out the other nostril hole and repeat with the other side Then blow real good . Do this every morning you should see a difference . Warning when you first start this it will be unpleasant . If you stick with it though you will get used to it and tell the difference.

You have a sinus infection. Ordinary snot is clear. Infected, it's yellow or greenish-yellow. It's nothing to worry about, you probably just have a cold.

Sounds like a low grade infection. See your Doctor. Otherwise go to a chemist for a nasal spray or drops to clear sinus and take some Astragalus Forte to build up your immune system. Bet you do not supplement Vit. C

Sinus infection is most likely the cause

You probably have a sinus infection or just a bad cold. Drink lots of fluids, and go see a doctor if it persists for more than a few days.

You might have a sinus infection. You may want to see a doctor or something. Or snort some peroxide and rubbing alchohol, that will kill the infection.
