A compound that changes color when exposed to an acid or a base, like litmus paper

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a party, trying to decide whether to stay longer or leave early, based on how much fun you're having. Just like an acid-base indicator, which changes color to signal whether a solution is acidic or basic, you might rely on cues like the music or crowd energy to decide if the party is enjoyable or not. In this analogy, the party represents the solution, your cues (music and energy) are like the indicator, which changes appearance (color) to reveal the nature (acidic or basic) of the environment.
