Indicators are substances whose solutions change color due to changes in pH. These are called acid-base indicators.

They are usually weak acids or bases, but their conjugate base or acid forms have different colors due to differences in their absorption spectra.

Methyl violet Yellow 0.0 - 1.6 Blue
Thymol blue Red 1.2 - 2.8 Yellow
Methyl orange Red 3.2 - 4.4 Yellow
