This is a bit of a cheat for the ‘rainbow’. The urine is actually yellow but the catheter bag becomes discolored purple so it looks like the urine inside the bag is purple.

I am a little disappointed that there's no purple pee. I know it would probably be a terrible thing, but still

I don't like beets. Can I just bleed during the piss instead?

UTIs work too.

Not quite as painful as a stone, I imagine.

I am male. Any tips on how to start menstruating? I mean it's called menstruating and not womenstruating.
