They both react, but and acid will create a low pH (1,2,3), and the color will turn red or orange. A base will have a high pH (11,12,13) and the color will be blue or green.

edit: yes they do react. if it is an acid it has a pH of 1-6, 7 is neutral and a pH of 8-13 is a base. Presence of acids and bases can lead to protonation / deprotonation of the indicator molecule, which changes its colour
