phenolphthalein is a weak acid, when reacting with strong alkali it turns pink
Phenolphthalein turns pink as NaOH is a strong alkali
it turns into fushia/purpley colour
When a drop of phenolphthalein is introduced in lime water the solution turns pink in colour.
As ammonia solution is alkaline, about pH 11 - 12, the phenolphthalein will turn pink.
Phenolphthalein turns pink in a base and turns colourless in a base
The phenolphthalein indicator is pink in basic solutions.

As ammonia solution is alkaline, about pH 11 - 12, the phenolphthalein will turn pink.
Ammonia gas get dissolved in water which form ammonium hydroxide. NH4OH is alkaline in nature. so when phenolphthalein is added to it. It produce PINK colouration.
Phenolphthalein is pink in a basic environment.
For solutions with a pH higher than 8.2, phenolphthalein turns bright pink.
