You are titrating an acidic solution with basic one, and just realised you forgot to add the indicator that tells you when the equivalence point is reached. In this titration, the indicator turns blue at the equivalence point from the initially colorless solution. You quickly grab a bottle of indicator and throw some into your titration beaker, and the whole solution turns dark blue. What do you do now?
