A red cabbage indicator is a liquid made from mashed up red cabbage which you then put in a liquid to see whether it is acidic or not.

If it is acidic the liquid would turn reddy orange and if it was an alkali ( the opposite to acid) it would turn purpley blue.

This is if the liquid was clear in the first place.
