Urine colours .Found this on google. Is it correct?

Roughly yes.

Blood doesn't have the same specific weight as urine, so it doesn't mix when it dries. In my experience it separates out either as small reddish dots in the middle of a pee patch or as a reddish ring (in a different colour) around the pee puddle if there is a lot of it. Oxidised pee has a darker rim but in the same colour range as the rest of the pee.

Any other pees you do not have to worry about unless you get milky/powdery white pees on a nearl daily basis - that means that there is too much calcium being excreted and you guinea pig is either on too high a calcium diet or it is in the very early stages of a cystitis.
If a dried white calcium patch contains sharp, firm bits, then please see a vet to have the bladders. The sharp bits are excreted crystals
 
Thankyou😊 thankfully i dont need this right now. But it will be handy for others
