Alizarin complexone is obtained by the condensation of alizarin with formaldehyde solution and iminodiacetic acid in the presence of alkaline conditions.
And this is just distilled water with a pH indicator in it that makes it blue when it's neutral or basic and it'll turn pink if it's at least a little bit acidic.
It'll stay blueish in color for as long as the bicarbonate ions are around to keep the pH buffered above the indicators end point of pH 4. This long glass thing here is a burette.
