For adults and children the color of your stool doesn't matter unless it is one of the following:
Black and tarry in texture- this indicates a bleed somewhere in the upper GI tract
Bright red- small amounts of blood on the outside of the stool can be from hemorrhoids or anal fissures, however if the amount is excessive or its throughouy the stool as well it could be a bleed somewhere in the lower GI tract
White or clay colored: small amounts of white spots in stool can just be from a high fat meal, however if more than 50% of the stool is white or clay colored this can be due to a block in the bile duct and needs to be addressed.
