When a reducing sugar is present, Benedict's solution changes color from blue to a range that can include green, yellow, orange, and eventually brick red or orange-red precipitate. The exact color depends on the concentration of the reducing sugar. At low concentration, the color might be green or yellow, and at higher concentrations, it shifts to orange and then brick red. This change occurs because the copper(II) ions in the blue Benedict's solution are reduced to copper(I) oxide, which forms a red precipitate.
