Introduction: Methylene blue is a commonly available stain used to see through microscope. Methylene blue is added to bacteria on a glass slide and examined under the microscope. It has been used in the laboratory and clinical science as well as in deciphering any leakage and breach of mucosal barrier as a treatment modality in cyanide poisoning. Case description: We report a 36-year-old male patient, a shopkeeper by occupation, who accidently had ingested methylene blue and noticed change in his urine color to green. The patient was evaluated and found to be hemodynamically stable with the normal renal, liver, and complete blood picture. The patient was observed for the next 2 days and the green urine color disappeared. Conclusion: Though different urine colors are a clue to underlying pathologic and physiologic state, many a times, it can be a truly benign picture. Methylene blue is one such example.
