Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. When the color fades, it's time for another dose. Provitamin A from yellow vegetables and carrots is a darker shade of yellow. Urine also contains a pigment called urochrome (which means "color of urine"). Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
It could be a sign of a lack of certain substances in your diet as suggested above but it could also be that you've had too much of something else, are dehydrated or your organs responsible for the processes of detoxification are struggling. i suggest you try drinking atleast 2-4 litres of water a day for a couple days & checking to see if your urine has returned to a healthy straw-like colour & if it does not seek advice from a physician asap.
