It has a pH of 7, meaning it's neutral.
It would be Green on a universal indicator.

Sodium chloride is a neutral substance and will not exhibit a specific color in a universal indicator. Universal indicators change color based on the pH of a solution, not the presence of specific compounds like sodium chloride.
When phenolphthalein is mixed with sodium chloride solution, no color changes will occur. Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color in response to pH levels, while sodium chloride (table salt) does not significantly affect the pH of a solution.
Chlorine reacts with the dyes in universal indicator, causing a bleaching effect and changing the color of the indicator. In the presence of chlorine, moist universal indicator may turn from its normal range of colors to a lighter or more faded color, depending on the concentration of chlorine.
When sodium is added to water, it reacts vigorously, releasing hydrogen gas and forming sodium hydroxide. The solution will become alkaline due to the formation of sodium hydroxide. When universal indicator is added, it will change color to indicate a high pH level, typically turning purple or blue for strong alkaline solutions.
As a chemical ion it is 'OH^-'. As in sodium hydroxide NaOH. A pH indicator will shown it as pH 8 to 12' depending on the ionic strength. A Universal Indicator will colour 'blue/violet/indigo'.
Sodium chloride does not produce a flame when heated. It simply melts into a liquid state and eventually vaporizes.
