Phenolphthalein is itself a weak acid and colorless when dissolved in distilled water. When a basic (alkaline) compound such as ammonia is added, the increase in pH alters its chemical structure and changes the color of the solution to pink/fuchsia. This is a simple test for ammonia gas using litmus paper infused with phenolphthalein.
