Red litmus paper contains a pigment that changes color in response to changes in pH. In acidic conditions, the pigment in red litmus paper turns red because the hydronium ions in the acid react with the pigment. In basic conditions, the pigment does not change color because the hydroxide ions in the base do not react with the pigment.
