How can I know if the normals of an object are flipped or not? Because in version 2.8 both normals have the same color and I can't identify if it's a flipped normal, unlike the previous versions where there are two colors of the faces: white is a real object, while light purple is a flipped normal.

1$\begingroup$ In 2.8 it's different now, to preview normals orientation you have to use Overlays menu and enable preview mode there. See blender.stackexchange.com/questions/119408/… $\endgroup$– Mr ZakJul 18, 2019 at 18:25

Go into edit mode
Select the overlays drop down and click on the button shown in the picture below
You will see blue lines in the direction the faces are facing

An even faster way to quickly check is to check the box that says Face Orientation. It'll color any flipped normals to red from blue.
