When litmus paper touches and acid, the paper changes to red. When it touches a base, the paper changes to blue. By comparing the color the litmus paper changed to by a chart, you could determine how strong or weak that acid or base is.

Litmus paper can be either blue or red. Typically, blue paper is used in chemistry labs to test for pH of a compound.
