Explanation:
Indicator Colour in Neutral Medium Colour in Acidic Solution
Litmus Purple Red
Turmeric Yellow Yellow
Red cabbage leave extract Red Red
Flowers of hydrangea plant Blue
pH indicators detect the presence of H+ and OH-. They do this by reacting with H+ and OH-: they are themselves weak acids and bases. If an indicator is a weak acid and is coloured and its conjugate base has a different colour, deprotonation causes a colour change
