hi
Every alkali solution above 7 pH at 298 K would turn red litmus into blue.
A phenol red solution is yellow initially. When the solution is exposed to something basic the color will shift from yellow to red to fuschia. Adding enough acid will turn the solution yellow again.
phenolphthalein is a weak acid, when reacting with strong alkali it turns pink
When you add methyl red to a solution it will indicate it's pH. When the pH is under 4.4 the solution will appear red in color (or maybe pink). When the solution is above pH 6.2 it will appear yellow in color. Any where in between will appear orange. So if you add base to a red/pink or orange solution it will turn yellow as the solution becomes more basic. But I honestly do not know th actual chemical reaction that causes the indictor's color change.
Blueberries turn blue at around pH 2.8 -3.2. But it will turn red if it is more acidic.

For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.
it depends on what is in the alkali, sodium, calcium, lithium all turn different colours, I believe lithium turns purple, an alkali is a compound with hydroxide ie sodium hydroxide is NaOH

If lipids are present, the solution will turn a purple/violet color.

In a neutral solution litmus has a purple color.

orange
Bases turn turmeric into red color, whereas acids and neutrals do not have any affect on the solution (it remains yellow in color).
