January 3rd, 2007 12:08 PM #3I'm not a doctor, but I think that is true. Whenever I drink a lot of water, my pee is clear. But when I don't drink a lot, it's yellow.

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.

afaik, a very light yellow or a clear with yellow tint of urine is better than shade like clear water.
if you are taking vitamins or medicines your urine might be a little darker, so drink a lot of fluid(water is the best)
