[Recapitulation: Litmus is a natural indicator and is used to test materials for acidity and basicity. This solution can also be used to differentiate between acids and bases. When acid is added to a litmus solution, it changes to red. When a base is added, it changes to blue. Neutral litmus paper is purple in colour.

A natural Indicator is a type of indicator that can be found naturally and can help us to know whether the material tested is an acidic substance or a basic substance.

Some examples of natural indicators other than litmus are:  red cabbage, turmeric, turnip skin, curry powder, etc.]
