It is a substance used to determine the strengths of acids and alkali.
It changes color according to the pH of the material its in. It is so useful because the color also tells you how strong the substance is. As an example, if you were to put a few drops of the indicator in water it would go green. A few drops of it in cleaning products and it would go a deep purple.
A universal indicator can give various colors to a huge variety of pH ranges.

What is the colour of universal indicator solution in a neutral solution?
The color of universal indicator solution in a neutral solution is green.
What substance will make universal indicator turn orange?
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.
