Honestly, I've had the light green after taking a vitamin supplement that I did not need. You can get red by drinking a lot of beet juice (the juice in the jar of sliced beets), but if you haven't done that red is very bad.
When I was in high school there was a kid who died of spinal meningitis. The school district distributed preventive medicine to all students. It turned my pee super orange. And from what I heard it turned guys' pee red!
If my pee is lager-colored I know I'm not drinking enough (unless it's first thing in the morning). Pee should be mostly clear with only a slight yellow tinge!
I found out about that in college. Initially I thought it was some cleaning compound in the dorm toilets. I found out later that someone had put methylene blue in brownies they brought to a gathering as a prank.
It wasn't that great of a prank because it relies on people talking about the color of their urine well after the prank was done.
This handy chart is from the Aussie government. Other colours are possible, but have specific causes that most likely require medical attention. There are other things that were already mentioned in other comments that could cause weird colours.
One of the greens just means you’re in New Orleans and have had too many hand grenades.
Actually, several of those right colors just mean your near bourbon street

You can get bright orange pee after taking certain UTI medication, too
Urogesic blue, same kind of thing, but it turns blue.
My old vitamin gave me neon orange pee first thing in the morning. Like, iodine color.
I take something else now and it does not do that anymore.

Just eating beets for me. Always scares the hell out of me for a second the next day when I forget that I had them in something.
That's the lowest amount that I have heard of for the effect.
It's always beets

Beets turn my poop green
are beets a PH indicator? do you have really basic or acidic poops?
Some people can't break down the pigment of beets.
Dude you're a poet and you didn't even realize it
I prefer this one:

I know, but I didn't have a fun illustration that reflects that fact 🤷
Ahhh my bad, I'm always taking things too literally lol
No worries, it's a valid point regardless 😁
Shades of blue happen when you are taking the medicine Methylene Blue.

Dark orange if you're on TB treatment course.
Chart's missing white/colourless
2/10 would not pee again
The 'What' side is just how much of that 2000 flushes stuff is in the bowl.
Magenta means you’ve been eating beets.
Bees!?
No, bees are yellow.
With blood diseases pee can be black, like bloody black
Green is from Gatorade and Mountain Dew.
Blue and purple are from prune juice, a warrior's drink.
Purple makes you King George III…

Is there a similar chart for poop?
I think we can only get a shart for that one. (Yeah i know i have the humor of a 2 year old)
There's the Bristol stool scale charts
