Heliotrope is a pink-purple hue, similar to the color of the flower heliotrope.
The color heliotrope would be equivalent to a pure chromatic purple that would be midway on the color wheel between violet and magenta.
This color has zero yellow reflectance so it can be seen as the complement (opposite color) of yellow.
[edit] Heliotrope is a vivid shade of lavender
This color is a very bright version of what many think of as lavender (when the term "lavender" is used as a general color term), just as the color indicated as "lavender" on the chart below is an extremely pale grayish shade of lavender. See article on the color lavender for the distinctions between various shades of lavender.
