Reading Salifert ammonia test

I think I'm reading it right, but not 100% sure.
The test sample is, for lack of a better word, cloudy but not showing any coloration toward yellow. Does that mean it's showing the lowest reading on the scale (<.25) or should the sample be crystal clear?
I didn't get the kit until the tank was up for some weeks, so I may have missed a test session that would have showed a yellow or orange color.
NOTE TO MODS
: Feel free to move, I geeked out and thought I was on the NEW HOBBIEST board.

i think your test is ok. I dont even use ammonia tests anymore because i find it very difficult to differentitate between .25 and 0. if the color is just cloudy but not yellow I would say you are ok.
