Explanation:

Litmus solution is a purple dye, which is extracted from lichen , a plant belonging to the division thallophyta and is commonly used as an indicator.

When the Litmus solution is neither acidic nor basic its colour is purple there are many others natural materials like red cabbage leaves , turmeric , coloured petals of some flowers such as hydrangea, Petunia , germanium which indicate the presence of acid or base in a solution.

THESE are called acid- base indicators or sometimes simple indicators.
