Millon's solution detects phenolic compounds, which includes proteins and some non-proteins. Phenolic compounds are classified as having a hydroxyl group, or an OH, bonded directly to a hydrocarbon.
A positive test, when using Biuret reagent, would be purple-ish
Indol Test ( Kovac's Reagent): E.a. = negative = yellow/gold ring at meniscus; as for E.c. = positive = red ring at meniscus (immediate change). Methyl Red Test (Methyl Red Reagent): E.a. = negative = yellow = pH > 7.0; as for E.c. = red color = pH < 5 (immediate change). Vogues-Proskauer Test (Napthol + KOH Reagent): E.a. = positive = reddish color (not immediate change); as for E.c. = negative = brown/yellow (straw color). Citrate (Bromothymol Blue Reagent - alkaline pH): E.a. = positive = blue color + growth; as for E.c. = negative = green color.

The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.
A student adds iodine solution to egg white and waits for a color change. How long will the student wait?
When being tested with biuret reagent, protein turns a blue to lilac color. However, starches when tested do change to a blackish blue color.
If the color is blue, it means that protein is present, if it turns orange, protein is not present.

to fix the color of the stain
Benedicts reagent is used to check reducing sugars , it need hat to work and gives red color when positive ,. While biuret reagent is for proteins .there is no need to use heat and gives purple , violet color when positive ..

The water turns a pale blue. In other words stating that it doesnt contain protein
When the isolated beta amylase enzyme is subjected to the biuret test, you will observe a color change from yellow to blue. This is because the biuret reagent reacts with the peptide bonds in the enzyme, causing a change in color.
The colour would change to a purple, dark purple colour.
