Because the waste products dissolved in your urine are yellow. The more water you mix them with, the lighter the color gets.
The body urinates for two reasons. One is to release urea and other waste products. The other is to maintain optimal water balance.
When you’re more hydrated, it pees even though the waste products haven’t built up very much.

Why does coffee or tea get darker the more you brew it?

It must be the urea building up right?

It doesn’t; it changes when you’re hydrated.
