Whether urine is dark yellow or pale depends on how much water?

The color of urine depends not solely on how much water you are retaining but also the vitamins you may or may not be taking on a daily basis as well. If your body is absorbing most of the vitamins then your urine will more then likely be more pale in color, however if your consuming too many vitamins and your body can not use it all, the rest will be excreted out your urethra, leaving a more dark color.
