it is red in pH under 4.4, yellow in pH over 6.2, and orange in between. Basically color of methyl red at pH 6 is ORANGE.
Methyl red is used as a pH indicator or for the identification of some bacteria.
It depends on the indicator and there are quite a few. Methyl Red, Methyl orange and Phenolphthalein are 3 such acid-base indicators. If phenolphthalein is used as the indicator and added to the base it would immediately turn red/pink. As acid is titrated in, the red/pink will disappear and go colorless.
The color of methyl orange is red. The color is red when the acetic acid is below pH 3.1.
methyl orange
Phenolphthalein has a pH range of 8.2 to 10.0, where it changes color from colorless to pink. Methyl orange has a pH range of 3.1 to 4.4, exhibiting a color change from red at low pH to yellow at high pH.
An acidic solution will turn methyl orange pink. Methyl orange is an acid-base indicator that changes color from red to yellow in acidic solutions and from yellow to pink in basic solutions.
Methyl red will appear yellow in a boric acid solution and red in a mannitol solution.
The red or pink color in an acidic solution is typically due to the presence of an acid-base indicator called phenolphthalein. In acidic conditions, phenolphthalein turns colorless, while in basic conditions it turns red or pink.
Some common indicators for acids include litmus paper (blue to red for acidic solutions), phenolphthalein (colorless to pink/red for acidic solutions), and methyl orange (red to yellow for acidic solutions). For alkalis, indicators include litmus paper (red to blue for basic solutions), phenolphthalein (colorless to pink/red for basic solutions), and methyl orange (yellow to red for basic solutions).
The effect of dilute HCl on the colors of the methyl orange will most likely be red. This is assumed because of both most likely having a pH of 3.1, which will end up red.
All acidic solutions are colourless in phenolphthalein, pink in methyl orange solution and turns blue litmus paper into red.
When you add methyl red to a solution it will indicate it's pH. When the pH is under 4.4 the solution will appear red in color (or maybe pink). When the solution is above pH 6.2 it will appear yellow in color. Any where in between will appear orange. So if you add base to a red/pink or orange solution it will turn yellow as the solution becomes more basic. But I honestly do not know th actual chemical reaction that causes the indictor's color change.
It is weak

IN ACID: it turns methyl orange pink In base: it turns methyl orange yellow

Methyl orange will turn red in vinegar due to its acidic pH.
