Why else would pale green be called "pee green"? What's that? It's "pea green"? OK, then.

I had been worrying about having slightly red urine for two days now, but watching this, it hit me that I had copius amounts of beetroot salad in the last days!
I feel so much better now! Thanks!!!

Excessive caffeinated energy drink consumption can also lead to green pee.

I'm in med school and I took a urine analysis class a couple of months ago. We ate different foods to see what it would do to it. I ate tomatoes and it made my urine smell earthy and had a slight pink hue to it.

The only time my pee was green was after drinking green beer on St Patrick's Day. The next morning was an unexpected surprise.
