Yellow snot is normally a sign of a virus or sinus infection. Light or bright yellow snot means that your body is fighting off something i.e. cold.

Blue snot occurs from a type of bacteria called Pseudomonas Pyocyanea. Only 1 in 10,000 people get blue snot though, so it’s pretty rare! Blue snot can also occur when the nose inhales blue powder or something else blue in the air.

Green snot can be a sign of a bacterial or fungal infection. The green color is produced by a type of white blood cell that responds to infections and inflammations. Snot becomes trapped in nasal passages when sinuses are inflamed.

Brown snot is mostly associated with smokers because of the particles from cigarettes. Smoking irritates the nasal passage which leads to slight bleeding.

The presence of these colors are a sign of blood in the snot which and normally indicates inflamed sinuses and the nose will begin to bleed. It can also occur when there is a sore in the nose.

Black / Grey snot usually means the inhalation of pollutants in the air. The purpose of snot is to trap dirt or other particles from getting further into your body. Most commonly happens when in the open air of a busy city because of all the pollutants.
