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.

The litmus paper will turn 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.
