Litmus is a water-soluble dye extracted from certain lichens. It turns red under acidic conditions and blue under alkaline conditions, the colour change occurring over the pH range 4.5-8.3 (at 25°C). Litmus is absorbed on to filter paper to make litmus papers; this is one of the oldest pH indicators.
