That depends on your tap water. Here where I live, the water is soft so its pH is quite low, 6.5 or 7, which means phenolphthalein is colourless. In some places it can be much higher, particularly where there is a lot of temporary hardness. Water companies work to the standard that pH should not exceed 9.5. Phenolphthalein changes colour over the range 8.2 to 10, so in very hard water it might show some pink.

There are different types of Litmus paper and so the exact color may differ for each of these types. Also, water itself is neutral when pure but most tap water is slightly basic so it depends on what you use. -- Tap water will not cause any colour change when tested with litmus paper. Blue litmus paper remains blue, the same goes for red litmus paper. Although the above statement says that tap water is slightly basic, the pH is still close to neutral and will not be significant enough to cause a colour change for the litmus paper.


Why the litmus paper is turn Green with tap water?
