Why is methylene blue is an appropriate dye for staining bacterial cells?
It is used in gram staining to differentiate gram negative and gram positive bacteria. After being dyed, the cells are washed with ethanol. Gram positive bacteria will retain the methylene blue due to the amount of peptidoglycan in their cell walls, where gram negative cells will not. Iodine is used as a counter stain, which is up-taken by gram negative cells. After the gram staining procedure is finished, gram positive cells will appear dark purple or blue due to the retained methylene blue. Gram negative cells will appear pink or red due to the iodine counter stain.

What colors do gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria stain?
Gram positive are purple. Just remember Positive+Purple. Gram negative are a reddish color from the safranin. After using the crystal violet, the grams iodine acts as a mordant to hold color on cell wall. When using the alcohol, the gram positive will stay purple while the gram negative will become clear. This is due to the outer cell wall of the gram negative specimen (lipopolysaccharide) basically being stripped by the alcohol, so now you have a clear specimen again. When you add the safranin it sticks to the gram negative cell wall, hince the red/pink color.
