EcoHue is an innovative, eco-friendly solution that utilizes the natural pigments of the Peregrin flower as a pH indicator to test the acidity or alkalinity of everyday household items. Rich in vibrant, color-changing anthocyanins, the Peregrin flower offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic chemical indicators, making it an ideal tool for environmental education and practical science learning. This project explores the flower’s ability to detect pH levels through simple extraction methods and the creation of pH strips and indicator papers, promoting environmental awareness and encouraging hands-on science experiences among students.Through structured experiments, the extracted pigment responds with visible color changes when exposed to substances of varying pH levels. These results are easily interpreted and can be used to identify common acids and bases found at home, such as vinegar, soap, and baking soda. Beyond education, EcoHue supports green innovation and societal well-being by reducing dependency on lab-based chemical kits and encouraging the reuse of natural resources.The project’s novelty lies in its multi-purpose potential as a pH tester, educational kit, and tool for scientific creativity. Ultimately, EcoHue serves as a bridge between nature and science, inspiring a more sustainable and exploratory approach to everyday chemistry.
