When red litmus is added to an alkali, its colour changes to blue.
This is because an alkali is a base and has the property of turning red litmus paper or
red litmus solution to blue.
When toothpaste and an alkali are added to litmus paper, the litmus paper will turn blue. Litmus paper turns blue in the presence of bases and alkaline substances due to a shift in the pH level towards the alkaline range.
The first litmus papers were white. Now we got in red and blue. They are more reliable. In blue litmus, an alkali solution stays blue. If it turns red, that means you have an acidic solution.
Every alkali solution above 7 pH at 298 K would turn red litmus into blue.
A red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base/alkali, while a blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid.
If you mix litmus solution with an alkali, the litmus solution will turn blue. Litmus is a pH indicator that turns red in acidic solutions and blue in alkaline solutions.

The color does not change unless an indicator such as litmus or phenolphthalein is being used. If litmus the color change is blue to red If phenolphthalein the change is red to colorless
Litmus Paper.
Blue litmus paper turns red in acid red litmus paper turns blue in alkali.
You probably mean litmus paper. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litmus.)
You would have to look at the nurk of the base and the whapple of the acid and i it is an xx and yy it would distinguish because then it dismanages it but otherwise if it is xy yx then it physicaly can't distinguish experimentally without tasting it.
Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions and blue in alkaline solutions.
ph 8- p14 is a alkali. blue for weak alkali (ph 8) purple for strong alkali (ph14)
