> Drink enough water that your pee is clear

This would give my GCSE Chemistry teacher apoplexy.

Clear is not a colour.

"is" has nothing to do with colors, e.g. pee is hot.

"clear" == "transparent" == "colorless"

If your urine stream has much color, you are dehydrated or perhaps sick:

Clarity is to do with opacity, not colour. See also how diamonds are graded by colour and clarity.

May I ask what you hoped to accomplish here? a) the parent comment didn't ever mention colour, and b) is there any possible ambiguity - even a fleeting moment of confusion - that any reader of the parent might have experienced?

Pretty clearly talks about colour.

Yes, there's plenty of confusion, given "clear" is not a colour. Your urine can be perfectly clear while still being yellow.
