Why does phenolphthalein change color in alkaline pH?

Phenolphthalein is a compound with chemical formula of C20 H14 O4. It is colorless but turns pink in alkaline solutions. This is because it undergoes a process of ionization where positively or negatively charged ions are added or removed from a molecule, which converts the molecule into ions. Phenolphthalein molecule contains positively charged hydrogen ions and is naturally colorless with bright pink ions. When exposed to an alkaline solution, these hydrogen ions are removed, phenolphthalein molecule gets ionized and the solution turns pink. The stronger is the alkali solution, more hydrogen ions removed and stronger pink colour of the phenolphthalein solution.
