The color of bile is related to the type and concentration of bile pigments contained in it, which can vary from golden yellow to dark green. Bile pigments include bilirubin and biliverdin, which are interconvertible. Bile from the upper part of the small intestine contains bilirubin and biliverdin, giving the stool its yellow-green color. When the stool is pushed to the colon, biliverdin is converted to bilirubin by reduction, and then the stool is yellow.
