If you add ammonia to red cabbage juice what color will it turn?

Red cabbage juice contains a class of chemical compounds known as anthocyanins. The color of anthocyanin molecules in solution depends on how acidic or basic the solution is. In a strongly acid solution, anthocyanins will appear red. In a neutral solution, anthocyanins appear purple. In weakly basic solutions anthocyanins appear blue, while in strongly basic solutions they will appear green. In extremely basic solutions, the anthocyanins will appear yellow. Because ammonia is a base, spraying ammonia into a glass containing cabbage juice (which contains anthocyanins) will most likely turn green.
