Fehling's solution is originally blue in color due to the presence of copper ions.
Fehling's A solution is blue in color due to the presence of copper sulfate.
I think you are referring to the test using Fehlings solution. Fehlings solution oxidises aldehydes and ketones and formic acid and is in turn reduced. The red precipitate is the copper(I) oxide formed by reduction of the copper(II) complex found in Fehlings solution. Acetic acid is not readily oxidised and so there is no precipitate. See link for more information on what the complex is in Fehlings solution and how it is prepared.
No colour
Fehling's solution is typically blue in color due to the presence of copper ions. When Fehling's solution is mixed with reducing sugars, such as glucose, it turns from blue to brick-red or yellow-brown due to the formation of a copper oxide precipitate.
When Fehling A & B are mixed in equal quantities... Fehlings Reagent is formed which is DEEP BLUE in colour Hope that answers your question! :)

The Fehling A solution contain copper sulfate.The Fehling B solution contain sodium potassium tartrate and sodium hydroxide.

Orange. It turns colourless in acids and pink in alkaline.

It is a solution which is transparent in colour.
ulo nyo!!
The solution is colourless.
Extraneous solution
If the solution contains acid, then the alkali turns the litmus to its original colour(blue).The color is effected by the concentration of the acid and the alkali.
