Litmus paper turns red in an acid because it indicates the presence of hydrogen ions. The red color change occurs due to a shift in the pH level of the solution, indicating acidity.
Litmus paper is a type of pH indicator paper that changes color in the presence of an acid or a base. It is commonly used in chemistry to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a substance by observing the color change of the paper.
An indicator is a compound that changes color when in contact with an acid or a base, allowing us to determine the pH of a solution. Common indicators include phenolphthalein, litmus, and bromothymol blue.
Blue litmus turns red in the presence of an acid and remains blue in the presence of a base.
Litmus paper is basically used to test nature of solution i.e acid or alkaline. For acid blue litmus turns to red. But for alkaline red litmus turns to blue color.
Red color in acidic solutions and blue color in basic solutions.

if you are working with a strong acid the lithmus paper will turn red.

lithmus paper
it turns blue
Pink Turns Blue was created in 1985.
Surely there is a distinct difference in color:the second is the color when immersed in acidic solutions (red), the first is the 'basic solution's color (blue), but in both cases it is still 'lithmus paper'.
Blue litmus turns red in the presence of an acid and remains blue in the presence of a base.
Blue Turns to Grey was created on 1965-12-04.
Red/blue red turns to blue to detect alkali blue turns to red to detect acid
