Phenolphthalein is an indicator often used in chemical titrations. Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and turns pink in basic solutions. The more basic the solution the pinker the solution will become when Phenolphthalein is present.

phenolphthalein is used to tell the acidity/how alkaline a substance is. As water tends to not be either alkaline or acidic [if it's polluted, that's another matter...] the colour of the phenolphthalein won't change.

A pink color in a solution with phenolphthalein indicates that the solution is basic. In acid phenolphthalein solutions, the solution will turn colorless.
