All salts are considered basic, and as such, when dissolved in water and subsequently tested with litmus paper, should turn a bluish color. The tint of the blue color should be recognizable, although would look pale when compared to stronger basic compounds (ammonia, baking soda dissolved in water, sodium hydroxide, etc.)

How does litmus paper indicate a base?

Litmus paper indicates a base by changing color when it comes into contact with a basic solution. Specifically, blue litmus paper remains blue or may intensify in color, while red litmus paper turns blue. This color change occurs because the pH of a basic solution is above 7, which causes the chemical indicators in the litmus paper to react accordingly. Thus, blue litmus paper is a visual cue for the presence of a base.
