Lymph fluid is typically clear to pale yellow.
It can sometimes appear milky white, especially after a meal, due to the presence of lipids (fats) absorbed from the digestive system.
The color of lymph fluid can also vary depending on its location in the body and any underlying medical conditions.
For example, lymph fluid from the intestines may be more yellowish due to the presence of bile pigments.
If lymph fluid is reddish, it could indicate the presence of blood, which may be a sign of injury or infection.
