What colors should the lines that appear on the test stick be?

The color shade can vary between light red and dark red, depending on the concentration of hCG in the urine. The color shade can therefore vary slightly, but only a reddish color gives a valid result.

If you get a different color to the lines other than reddish, wait a couple of days and take another test. Should you still get a different color, there is probably something wrong with the test and then we ask you to contact our customer service.
