When bicarbonate of soda is added to universal indicator, it typically turns the solution a blue or purple color. This indicates a basic pH level.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is generally white in color and does not have a specific color on a pH indicator as it is amphoteric, meaning it can act as a base or an acid depending on the context.

Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that turns pink in alkaline solutions with a pH greater than 8.2. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is basic, so when phenolphthalein is added to a solution containing baking soda, it will turn pink.
Bicarbonate indicator works by changing color in response to the pH level of a solution. When added to a solution, the indicator changes color based on the amount of bicarbonate ions present, which can give an indication of the solution's pH level. This color change is due to the property of the indicator molecule to shift its absorbance spectrum based on the pH of the solution.
The pH of Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3) in pure water is pH 8.2 See link below.
Phenol red is a pH indicator that changes color in response to pH changes. It turns yellow in acidic conditions and red in basic conditions. When added to a solution containing baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), which is a basic substance, phenol red can turn red.
Sodium bicarbonate would turn blue or purple in universal indicator solution, indicating a basic pH level, around pH 9-10.
The pH level of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is around 8.3, making it slightly alkaline.
When you add bicarbonate of soda to black tea, the tea will turn a greenish-brown color due to a change in pH levels caused by the bicarbonate of soda. This may vary depending on the concentration of the bicarbonate of soda used.
