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.)
Litmus paper turns blue in a base.
When litmus paper touches an acid, the paper changes to red. When it touches a base, the paper changes to blue. By comparing the color the litmus paper changed to by a chart, you could determine how strong or weak that acid or base is.
Blue litmus paper turns red in a base.
An aqueous solution of borax is basic in nature. When litmus paper is dipped into the solution, it will turn blue or remain blue, indicating that it is a base. Litmus paper changes color in response to the pH level of the solution it is placed in.
It turns blue because it's a base. If it was a acid then it will turn red.

the red litmus paper turns to blue
If you are using red litmus paper, a base will turn the litmus paper blue.
When litmus paper touches an acid, the paper changes to red. When it touches a base, the paper changes to blue. By comparing the color the litmus paper changed to by a chart, you could determine how strong or weak that acid or base is.

A blue color
Yes, blue litmus paper turns red in an acid and red litmus paper turns blue in a base under most circumstances.
An aqueous solution of borax is basic in nature. When litmus paper is dipped into the solution, it will turn blue or remain blue, indicating that it is a base. Litmus paper changes color in response to the pH level of the solution it is placed in.
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.
It turns blue because it's a base. If it was a acid then it will turn red.
