Universal indicator is just that - an indicator. It is not intended as an accurate measurement system.
Water is NOT Universal Indicator. Water is often referred to as a Universal Solvent as a large number of substances are soluble in it. Universal Indicator is a chemical agent that can be used to test the pH of a liquid.
A neutral solution will turn universal indicator green.
The color of universal indicator solution in a neutral solution is green.
An acidic substance will turn universal indicator orange. This occurs because universal indicator contains a mixture of dyes that change color based on the pH of the solution. In an acidic environment, the indicator will shift towards the orange end of the color spectrum.
The universal Indicator was invented in 1923 by Yamada
Universal Indicator Yellow was created in 1993.
Universal Indicator Green was created in 1995.
Universal Indicator Red was created in 1993.
Universal Indicator Blue was created in 1992.

The universal indicator turns red in acidic solutions.
Green is the color that universal indicator turns to when it is neutral.
Alkalis turn universal indicator blue or purple.

Ammonia typically appears blue on a universal indicator.
When an alkali is added to universal indicator, the color of the indicator will typically change to blue or purple, indicating a high pH. Alkalis are substances that have a pH above 7 and tend to turn universal indicator towards the blue end of the spectrum.
