What happens if you don't use safranin in gram stain?
A safranin counterstain is used to stain these Gram-negative cells pink. However, if the safranin counterstain were forgotten, the Gram-negative bacteria would remain unstained, as the original crystal violet stain would have been removed during the ethanol wash, and no additional stain would have been applied.
