What is the change of colour of litmus paper when magnesium is burnt in air?

Zinc would have no effect on litmus paper. It is affected by solutions of acids and alkalis. I wonder if you have some acid and you are adding the zinc to that? If so, eventually, if there is enough zinc, the acid will be neutralized so instead of being pink with the acid, the litmus will go a purplish colour.
