4. Oddly orange.

Your urine, just like your skin have a tendency to turn orange after you eat too many carrots. This means you gave your body a huge dose of beta-carotene, which had to be released through urination. Another possible cause for your orange pee could be an over the counter drug including the blood thinner warfarin, and the UTI treatment Pyridium.

Luckily, you know if you are taking these medications, and knowing ahead of time will help you react more calmly to unexpected changes in urine color. Although, if the color is more of a neon or flourecent orange, and you notice a yellowing begin to appear in the whites of your eyes, it could be due to some kind of liver disease. If this is the case you should explain your condition to a professional, and listen to his recommendations.

5. Pretty and pink.

While the sight of pinkish, or red pee may be alarming it is most commonly related to something you previously ate. Blackberries, beets, and rhubarb are likely causes, and if that's the case, your urine color should be back to normal after a day, but if the color hangs around it could be a warning sign of a bladder or kidney tumor. Although it's extremely rare, it is also commonly under diagnosed by women because they think it's a weird period fluke, and decide to ignore it.
