Can litmus paper test for ph values?

No, it can only test whether a chemical is acidic, alkaline or neutral. If it's acidic, it will turn the red litmus paper blue. If it's alkaline, it will turn the blue litmus paper red. But beware, when doing experiment, you must use both of the litmus paper at the same time since if a chemical/solution is neutral, both of the paper won't have any changes.

The simplest way is to use litmus paper. The mixture must be a liquid so that the mixture can react with the water and so dissociate into either hydronium or hydroxide ions. If it's a solid, try dissolving it in water. If you have a gas, use damp litmus paper. Red litmus paper is used to test for basic substances, and turns blue in a positive test. Blue litmus paper is used to test for acidic substances, and turns red in a positive test.
