Methyl red and methyl orange show reddish colors in acidic solutions.
Butanoic acid is more acidic. Presence of electron donating methyl group (as in 3-methyl butanoic acid) will decrease the acidity.
No, methyl alcohol is generally not viewed as an acid at all.
the color of methyl orange in an acidic medium is orange
Methyl orange changes colors while in the middle of the acidic range so it is only used as an indicator to determine just how acidic a solution is. Below a pH of 3.1 it is red. As pH gets higher it goes to an orange color until it gets above a pH of 4.4 where it will be yellow.

For example methyl orange become red in acidic solutions.

Methyl orange is an acid/base indicator changing from orange-yellow to red when pH lowers from 4.4 to 3.1, thus indicating the endpoint (pH ~ 4) of the 'bicarbonate (HCO3-) to carbonic acid (H2CO3)'-titration with dilute strong acid (HCl).
Methyl Orange is red in an acidic solution.
Screened methyl orange is a pH indicator consisting of a solution of methyl orange and xylene cyanol in ethanol. It is red in very acidic solution, grey in neutral solution, and green in very alkaline solution.
Methyl red turns red in acidic solutions (under pH 4.4), yellow in alkaline solutions (pH over 6.2),and is orange in between.
Milk of magnesia is a basic solution. Therefore, methyl orange shows a yellowish orange colour. Further, this indicator shows a red colour in acidic solutions.
It depends on what indicator you are using. Yellow with the bromothymol blue indicator is acidic, yellow with the methyl orange indicator is basic, yellow with the phenol red indicator is acidic and yellow with the universal indicator is acidic.
