When you add methyl red to a solution it will indicate it's pH. When the pH is under 4.4 the solution will appear red in color (or maybe pink). When the solution is above pH 6.2 it will appear yellow in color. Any where in between will appear orange. So if you add base to a red/pink or orange solution it will turn yellow as the solution becomes more basic. But I honestly do not know th actual chemical reaction that causes the indictor's color change.
When alkali is added to methyl orange, the color changes from red in acidic conditions to yellow in alkaline conditions.
Methyl violet appears as a greenish-blue color in alkali.
Methyl yellow is yellow in alkaline medium.
Alkalis turn methyl orange indicator yellow because the color of methyl orange changes depending on the pH of the solution. In acidic conditions, methyl orange appears red, while in alkaline conditions it appears yellow.
IN ACID: it turns methyl orange pink In base: it turns methyl orange yellow

The color of methyl orange is red. The color is red when the acetic acid is below pH 3.1.
Methyl orange turns red in the presence of calcium hydroxide.
Methyl orange will turn red in vinegar due to its acidic pH.
Methyl Red
Methyl Orange is red in an acidic solution.
Sulfuric acid will turn red when methyl orange is added, indicating that the solution is highly acidic.
Methyl red is an adequate indicator.
