If you mean a universal indicator, it is used to detect if a chemical is acid, alkali or neutral. It changes colour to show the chemicals position on the pH scale A universal indicator turns red at pH1 (Very acidic), orange at pH4 (Fairly acidic), yellow at pH6 (Not very acidic) and green at pH7 (Neutral). It turns more dark blue as it gets to pH10 (Quite Alkaline) and more to purple by ph12 (Even more alkaline) and to a dark purple by pH14( Very Alkaline).
