Litmus paper or phenolphthalein.
Litmus at a pH of 7 (which is nominally what an NaCl solution should have at room temperature) is a kind of purple color, somewhere between the "red" acidic form and the "blue" basic form. As with many indicators, the color change happens over a range rather than at a specific pH; the range for litmus is from around 5 (red) to 8 or so (blue).
red litmus paper turns blue under alkaline conditions.
All salts are considered basic, and as such, when dissolved in water and subsequently tested with litmus paper, should turn a bluish color. The tint of the blue color should be recognizable, although would look pale when compared to stronger basic compounds (ammonia, baking soda dissolved in water, sodium hydroxide, etc.)
well there are many ways, one way is noticing that a salt is produced, a basic formula acid+base->salt+water so if your cocky you can taste it, and another way is to notice has energy been produced or not, it might be harder or you can see if it bubbles or has any obvious change.
sulphuric acid colour on pH paper
THE COLOUR of the litmus paper will not change as a salt solution is neutral
it will change into red colour
Acids turn the red litmus paper blue. Is salt a typeof acid??
Litmus paper or phenolphthalein.
Litmus paper doesn't "do anything" to a solution. Litmus paper has some dyes on it, so some of the dyes might leak into the solution though. NaCl won't do anything to Litmus paper either. Salt, when dissolved in water, maintains a neutral solution. Litmus paper only changes color when there is a pH change. So, nothing really will happen.

pH 7 litmus color is red-ish blue or blue-ish red (red, 5.5 < pH < 8, blue)
