Unpoluted rain has a pH around 5.7 (very mild acid) but with typical levels of atmospheric polution in the US its pH is typically between 5.6 to 3.8 (mild acid) and exceptionally it can have a pH as low as 2 (fairly strong acidic) due to atmospheric polution such as Sulpher Dioxide which is disolved in the rain.

Typically a universal indicator would show yellow for unpoluted rain, orange for mildly poluted rain and red for very poluted rain.
