Seen black (old blood)- many times.

White is common from pus or infection, sediment.

Red is blood or beats.

Orange common with pyridium (used for urinary pain).

Purple seen in an infection called purple bag syndrome, see it about once a year.

Blue described above.

Not to tell you how to live your life, but you should absolutely become an artist and paint with all the forbidden colors only you know.

Watercolors, ya know? Peaceful little piss beach scenes, and all that.

People would be at least mildly interested in your process

You wouldn’t believe it but throughout history yellow paint was derived from all varieties of urine.
