When chlorine comes in contact with litmus paper it bleaches it, so it turns white. Before it turns white, though, it can turn pink because of the acids formed when chlorine reacts with water. Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl + HCl
Not sure about the effect of other halogens on damp, blue litmus paper, but I suspect that similar reactions would occur.

How does litmus paper react when exposed to vinegar?
Litmus is used to test materials for their acidity. Blue litmus paper turns red when exposed to acid, so it would turn red when exposed to vinegar, which is acidic.
What happens when a BLUE litmus paper is dipped in an acid?
Blue litmus paper turns RED in an acid. Red litmus paper turns BLUE in a base.
What happens when blue litmus paper is dipped in vinegar solution?
Blue litmus paper turns into red.
What happens when blue litmus paper is dipped in dilute nitric acid?
this is a fun expierement cuz it will turn the blue litmus paper into red litmus paper!
Why would litmus paper turn green?
Litmus paper turns green ( rather than pink or red ) because it has been exposed to an alkaline source.
What happens to red litmus paper if dipped in vineger?
Sour milk is acidic. Red litmus paper should not change.The sour part of sour milk is lactic acid. As litmus paper turns red when exposed to acidic compounds, litmus paper that is already red should not react when exposed to lactic acid.
How does litmus paper react when exposed to vinegar?
Litmus is used to test materials for their acidity. Blue litmus paper turns red when exposed to acid, so it would turn red when exposed to vinegar, which is acidic.
What does a base do to red litmus paper?
Red litmus paper is used to check for basicity. It turns blue when exposed to bases. Blue litmus paper is used to check for acidity. It turns red when exposed to acids.

How pH paper distinguishes acid and bases?
pH paper changes color after being exposed to an acidic or a basic solution (depending on the paper). For instance, blue litmus paper will turn red after being exposed to an acidic solution, while red litmus paper will turn blue after being exposed to a basic solution. The addition of an acidic or basic solution to litmus paper causes a chemical reaction which changes the light absorbing properties of litmus, thus altering its color.
