There are a huge range of indicators that can be used in chemistry, but I presume you'll be using the basic 'universal indicator' here. A base will turn this indicator (depending on its strength) light/dark blue, or purple if it is quite strong.

Or do you mean in terms of chemical reaction?

It depends on what indicator you use. If you were to use universal indicator it would turn blue or purple depending on the strength of the base. If you were to use red cabbage juice it would become clearer depending on the strength of the base. Litmus paper would turn blue.
