Use heliotrope alongside the swatches above to compare lighter tints, deeper shades, and nearby hues. A restrained palette can reserve this color for a focal element and use a neutral background for supporting content. For text and controls, check contrast at the size and weight where the color will appear; a swatch that looks clear on a large area may be harder to read in small labels. Save the HEX or RGB value in your design system so the same color can be reused consistently.
