Hi Geoff,
Were those white paper towels or brown ones? The brown ones contain a complex
mixture of chemicals some of which may respond to pH changes. I do know what
they are, because there are so many. If you used white towels, they are
mostly cellulose, resin binder, and a little bleach residue, none of which
should be pH sensitive or change color as pH changes.
