It's purple the colour can change slightly.
isn't that just great purple it's my favourite colour ya know
The colors of litmus is different; this depends on the pH.
Purple litmus paper will remain purple when dipped in tap water. Tap water is typically neutral or slightly basic, so it will not cause a color change in purple litmus paper.
Litmus paper detects alkaline conditions (presence of OH- ion). When dry, ammonia has no hydroxide ions. It needs to be mixed with water, where, in equilibrium, NH4+ and OH- ions are formed. If you wet the litmus paper, the dry NH3 gas will register as basic.
acid base indicator or pH indicatorSome examples of acid base indicators are: gentian violet, malachite green, thymol blue, methyl yellow, bromophenol blue, congo red, methyl orange, screened methyl orange, bromocresol green, methyl red, methyl purple, phenolphthalein, indigo carmine, hydrangea flowers, anthocyanin, litmus, red cabbage, and purple cauliflower.
When acids and alkalis are mixed, the pH of the solution changes. Indicators such as litmus paper will change color based on the new pH. Acids turn blue litmus paper red, while alkalis turn red litmus paper blue.
THE COLOUR of the litmus paper will not change as a salt solution is neutral

Purple litmus (neutral) become red in acidic solutions.
Purple litmus paper will remain purple when dipped in tap water. Tap water is typically neutral or slightly basic, so it will not cause a color change in purple litmus paper.
Litmus is red at a pH under 4,5.
blue
The natural color for litmus paper is blue. When put in an acidic solution the blue paper turns red. Red litmus paper is first mixed with an acid when it is made. This causes the paper to appear red. When put in the presence of a base, the paper returns to its natural blue color.

baking powder will not show any colour change in litmus soltion because water is absent but wen it is mixed wid water and then subjected to the litmus solution, the red litmus wud change to blue.
it does not make neutral colors :D
