If we put litmus paper to soap solution will it change into the red?

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 7

Soap dissolved in water makes the solution alkaline in nature due to the formation of alkalis like NaOH or KOH. The solution changes the colour of red litmus to blue. However, the solution does not change the colour of the blue litmus.
