â¢ Grey, Pale, Yellow or Clay-Colored â The liver releases bile into the stool, giving it a normal brown color. If there is inflammation or scarring in the liver that inhibits bile production, or if the flow out of the liver is blocked, bowel movements may appear to be grey, pale, yellow or clay-colored.
Answers from Michael F. Picco, M.D. Stool comes in a range of colors. All shades of brown and even green are considered normal. Only rarely does stool color indicate a potentially serious intestinal condition. Stool color is generally influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile â a yellow-green fluid that digests fats â in your stool. As bile pigments travel through your gastrointestinal tract, they are chemically altered by enzymes â changing the pigments from green to brown.
