Answer:

Litmus paper is filter paper which has been treated with a natural water-soluble dye obtained from lichens. The resulting piece of paper, called "litmus paper", can be used as a pH indicator.

The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or basic. Blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions, with the color change occurring over the pH range 4.5–8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F). Neutral litmus paper is purple.
