Thymol blue (thymolsulfonephthalein) is a brownish-green or reddish-brown crystalline powder that is used as a pH indicator. It is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and dilute alkali solutions.

Thymol blue (pH indicator)
below pH 8.0 above pH 9.6
8.0 ⇌ 9.6
Thymol blue (pH indicator)
below pH 1.2 above pH 2.8
1.2 ⇌ 2.8

It transitions from red to yellow at pH 1.2–2.8 and from yellow to blue at pH 8.0–9.6. It is usually a component of Universal indicator.

At wavelength (378 - 382) nm, extinction coefficient > 8000 and at wavelength (298 - 302) nm, the extinction coefficient > 12000.[3]
