pH Indicators and Xenobiology

+0
−0

Not long ago I asked about pH indicators and their use in making fantastical skin colors (pH Indicators and Fantastical Skin Colors)

In that question, I listed bromothymol blue as a type of indicator that could serve this purpose. I was then politely informed that bromothymol blue is not an organic pigment, and that it can't be created in nature

My main question is as follows: is there any kind of biology (e.g. Not carbon based) that would make this pigment useful as a biological pigment?
