It depends on the reagent used, but most of the time the more acidic the substance is, the brighter yellow it shows up on the scale when a sample is tested for pH, while strong bases are usually deep blue. Greens are usually in the 7.0 range, or neutral. Your pH testing substance should come with a color scale, and you just match up the color of your testing strip after dipping it or touching it to the test substance with the color on the scale.

What do the colours on the pH stixs mean?

if you mean the colors on a pH scale then they are probably labeled: 1-14. the numbers 1-6 are acids, the lower the number the more acidic the chemical is. the number 7 means tat the chemical is neutral (this is usually water). the numbers 8-14 are base's the higher the number the more basic it is.
