"Basophilic", or specifically the word "Basophil".
It's a bit hard for me to describe... It's a medical or technical term relating to cells & tissues being dyed with hematoxylin or other common dyes. It's basic meaning is "Base-loving" due to the fact that "Basophils" are cells that "love". Not in the way we do, but they suck up dyes a lot more needily compared to others.
Basophilic cells are a very beautiful purple. I hope you enjoy your answer. Runner ups include Halcyon & Sehnsucht.
