Do not go by the colour of semen, it varies.
If you are in doubt about semen quality , please go for a semen analysis.

Well, I asked around before, they said its normal, I have not ejaculated for more than 10 days, and Im usually a frequent masturbator.
Before I got the abnormal result, I was drinking a litre of processed jasmine tea, 21g carb, 21g sodium and 0 protein, that usually changes the colour of my urine.
when ejaculating or urinating, no pain or whatsoever, its just the yellow semen that freaked me out.
Its white at the 4th ejaculation, but slightly yellow (unnoticeable under a torch light) on a tissue after I wiped it.
Comparing to the third ejaculated semen, this one is about normal or so, as it is does not leave the yellow stains on paper.
Could u elaborate more on this? Am I back to normal? should I be worried? Im 25 bt

Brief Answer:
Dont worry, its quite normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Yellowish colour of semen can be due to lots of reasons.
Not ejaculating for a long time can be the reason.
Other than that, certain foods in diet that tinge your urine can also tinge your semen at times.
Since you have no pain / itching / odour, there is no possibility of an infection.
It is very likely that the colour was due to abstinence / the jasmine tea diet.
Since it is white once more, do not worry.
Occasionally, you might have yellow semen once in a while, as long as there are no other accompanying symptoms, do not worry.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.

5th one today and its pearly white, no hints of anything yellow anymore. How do I actually maintain the whiteness? Is it confirmed that i am fine now? no pain felt as of yet
Brief Answer:
Yes you are fine.
Detailed Answer:
Yes it is confirmed that you are fine.
You maintain it by avoiding prolonged abstinence and avoiding the diet that is causing the yellow colour.
