When iodine comes into contact with starch, it forms a blue-black complex. Therefore, if you were to apply iodine to a cut onion, the starch present in the onion cells would react with the iodine, turning the onion a blue-black color. This color change is a common test for the presence of starch in biological samples.

Why does sea salt turn brown?
Iodine is used to find starch. If no starch is present, a rusty brown color will appear. If starch is present like in bread and potato, the iodine when put on will turn blackish blue. That is known as a chemical reaction. Since there is no starch in water, the iodine in the water stays the same color as it started (brown). Hope that helps!! :)

Is color a physical change?
Only if the color change is not permanent. Take Iodine for example (that's pronounced Eye-oh-deen), it is a solid metal that is grayish in color in its solid state, however in its gas state it's a purple or violet color. Once it reverts to its solid state, it turns gray again. This is a PHYSICAL property of Iodine. If the color changed permanently to something else, it would be a chemical change.
