Yes, because litmus paper remains blue in alkaline solutions and turns red in acidic solutions.
Blue litmus paper will turn red in the presence of an acidic solution, while red litmus paper will turn blue in the presence of an alkaline (basic) solution.
Red, because litmus paper remains blue in alkaline solutions and turns red in acidic solutions.
Litmus paper is basically used to test nature of solution i.e acid or alkaline. For acid blue litmus turns to red. But for alkaline red litmus turns to blue color.
The solution is alkaline, because litmus paper remains blue in alkaline solutions and turns red in acidic solutions.
When neutral litmus solution is added to an alkaline solution, the litmus solution will turn blue. This change in color indicates that the solution is basic or alkaline in nature. Litmus paper is commonly used as an indicator to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

blue litmus remains blue while red litmus changes to blue
When neutral litmus solution is added to an alkaline solution, the litmus solution will turn blue. This change in color indicates that the solution is basic or alkaline in nature. Litmus paper is commonly used as an indicator to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
Blue litmus paper stays blue in a neutral solution. It turns red only when in an acidic solution. Similarly, red litmus paper would stay red in a neutral solution and turn blue in an alkaline solution. Added: acidic: pH below 5.5 it turns (stays) red alkaline: pH above 8.0 it turns (stays) blue neutral, in between 5.5 and 8.0: its color is purple, between 'red and blue' or 'blue and red' A much better indicator paper is universal indicator paper. It is yellow and can tell you the exact pH of the solution it is dipped in, going yellow to red in acidic conditions, blue to purple in alkaline conditions and green in neutral conditions. The exact colour depends on the pH.
A base.An alkali turns litmus paper blue.The solution is a base.
Toothpaste solution typically turns litmus paper blue, indicating it is basic or alkaline in nature.
It turns blue.
blue and purple
A substance that can change red litmus paper to blue is a base or alkaline solution. This is due to the effect of the alkaline solution in causing the litmus dye to gain electrons, resulting in a shift in color from red to blue.
