1) "amethyst" is a colour ("a moderate purple") but it usually refers to the stone.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/amethyst

2) Lithospermum erythrorhizon (flowering plant whose root provides red purple dye)
That sense isn't in most dictionaries, even big ones.

Wikipedia's article on it it titled 紫草, and it doesn't mention 紫 as an alternative name.
In Wp, 紫 redirects only to the colour, and not to 紫草.

3) Japanese: murasaki
That's irrelevant.

editor: couldn't find those meanings either.
Diff:
- 紫 紫 [zi3] /purple/violet/amethyst/Lithospermum erythrorhizon (flowering plant whose root provides red purple dye)/Japanese: murasaki/
+ 紫 紫 [zi3] /purple/violet/
