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.
