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.
As the bile travels through the bowel, it turns yellow, then brown. If stool is moving fast through the bowel, it doesn't have time to turn brown, so it may come out yellow or even green. Stool travels faster when the bowel is irritated, such as when there is a virus.
