Best Answer

Helicons (a musical instrument related to the tuba) are traditionally brass and therefore "brass-colored", though it would be possible to plate one with nickel to make it silver-colored, or make the bulk of it out of plastic in pretty much any color you like.

If you mean heliconia, the flowers are typically some shade of red, orange, yellow, green, pink, or a mixture of these. As a color name, as best I can tell "heliconia" is "fuchsia, but we're already using that name for a very slightly different shade and we had to call this something."

The helicon and sousaphone are wraparound versions of what musical instrument?

"tuba" is the obvious first answer, however -An early Helicon shaped brass bugle horn (called Cornu ) was developed about 2000 years ago for the Roman Legions. In the early 1800s when valves were not yet invented, there was a need for convenient shaped bass horn to be used by horse-mounted bands and marching bands. Other low range horns available at that time were awkward and needed two hands to play them. The helicon shaped horn was revived and valves were added at about the same time tubas were developed. The tuba shape was adapted from other earlier related instruments (see serpentwebsite.com and Contrabass.com for much more information on this - it is a very complex history.)Sousaphones are modified helicons, not modified tubas. There are also helicon shaped Euphoniums (baritones,) Alto Horns, and French Horns. There are also Sousaphone shaped Euphoniums (baritones.) The original Sousaphones had their bells pointing straight up into the air over the player's left shoulder ( these were soon nicknamed "Rain Catchers") and it was only later that the bells were tipped forward as they are made today.
