However I have learned through many years what color is right for me and working with steel .good luck and have your eyes checked so you will know it it is an issue for you as well . I am not saying you have bad eyes just a thought as it was my problem for over heating many Blades .

hydrate and rehydrate, Plenty of fluids before you work,,during and after. " If your urine is not light yellow or almost clear you are behind on fluids." this is bass ackwards ----> (if the Urine is light yellow or Dark) You need MORE water ! Clear Urine indicates you have drank enough water for the time . at high temperatures and high humidity One must drink more water to keep the body from dehydration and the toxic levels in the Urine flushed out . any color in the during the hottest parts of the day or any other time is an indication of the need of water . Per the Military, and with 27 years trust me I drink a lot of water thorough the day when it is Hot .
Now Retired and still drink water all most all the time .
