Mauve on the pH paper Merck art. 9565.
Potatoes, like the majority of vegetables, are a low-acid food with a pH value of 6.1. Each brand of pH test strips may have slightly different color schemes. Litmus paper comes in two colors. Red litmus paper turns blue when exposed to a base. Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid. Litmus paper is of limited use since it only tells you whether you are dealing with an acid or base and gives no indication about strength. Universal indicator paper would show a very light yellow. Hydrion paper would show a 'dirty' yellow.
Litmus paper will turn red in acidic solutions, such as orange juice, indicating its acidity.
it turns acidic or very basic
As orange juice being an acidic solution, it turns blue litmus into red.
It would remain red, red litmus paper only reacts to blue in the presence of a base. Lemon juice is acidic and thus wouldn't turn the paper a color. If blue litmus paper was used in the lemon juice it would turn red. Consequently dipping blue litmus paper in a base won't change the color because it does not react with bases, only acids.

Litmus paper would turn red if apricot juice, which is acidic, was dropped on it. This is because litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid.
blue
Red, due to the citric acid.
Litmus paper will turn red in acidic solutions, such as orange juice, indicating its acidity.
Blue litmus paper would turn red in orange juice.
Amla juice is acidic, typically having a pH around 2.5 to 3.5. When tested with pH paper, it will usually turn blue litmus paper red, indicating its acidic nature. The color change is a result of the acid-base reaction, confirming the low pH of the juice.
it turns acidic or very basic
When red litmus paper is dipped in grapefruit juice, it typically remains red. This is because grapefruit juice is slightly acidic, and red litmus paper does not change color in acidic conditions. If the juice were alkaline, the paper would turn blue, but grapefruit juice does not have that property.
Apple juice is a type of citric acid so it would turn blue litmus paper redish.
As orange juice being an acidic solution, it turns blue litmus into red.
