When universal indicator is put in water soluion of alkalis (base) it indicates significant blue colour.
YYEESSS
Purple. Sodium Hydroxide is an Alkali/base. Bases and Alkalis have a pH greater than 7, and turn blue-purple in universal indicator.
Red
Universal Indicator turns concentrated HCl red because Universal Indicator turns strong acids reds.
It will turn blue/purple as lime water has a pH of 12.4

The alkali makes a universal indicator turn blue.

Blue
yellow
If you are testing with Universal Indicator or the Litmus Test it will turn red.
since water is pretty neutral, the water does not change color but the universal indicator does. The universal indicator changes color as per the quantity of deionized water... But it changes to straw color or pale yellow in 50mL of deionized water.
Red
Universal Indicator turns concentrated HCl red because Universal Indicator turns strong acids reds.

Hydrochloric Acid is known to be a very strong acid. A 0.01 molar solution of HCl has a pH of 2 ( -log(0.01) ) which on the pH scale is very acidic (under 7 is acidic, 7 is neutral, over 7 is basic). On a universal indicator test, HCl would come out as red. A basic solution would be a more blue-green, or green depending on the concentration.This is a color chart for a universal indicator test:http://chem.csusb.edu/images/pH_chart.gif
pink and red in acid and dark green
