I noticed that my hands became stained green after handling tomato
foliage.
Then, when I washed my hands with soap, the wash water turned to a strong
yellow. Further checking confirmed that whatever the color came from was
an
acid/base indicator. Does anyone here know what that tomato plant
substance
can be?

Don't know what the substance is, but to remove it, simply "wash" your
hands with a ripe tomato and the stain is gone.
