How does litmus in the litmus milk act as a redox indicator?

Litmus milk medium is skim milk to which the dye litmus has been added. Litmus is both a pH indicator and a redox indicator. It is pink at pH < 4.5, purple in middle pH's and blue at pH > 8.3. As a redox dye, in the absence of oxygen (reduced state) it's colorless (white due to milk) and in the presence of oxygen (oxidized state) it is purple.
