Leucomethylene blue - colorless when reduced to deep blue when oxidized, and reversible. Classic demo is a trace of methylene blue plus glucose in water, shaken in a jar with air.

 

Basic phenolpthalein will reversibly decolorize with CO2, but it will be slow.

i was thinking maybe a chemical that is cheap to produce, like for use in a sales product. I read up on Leucomethylene blue and it is used to lower the levels of methaemoglobin in red blood cells, sounds kinda expensive.
