The closest match to Vallejo Light Violet in every other range, nearest first.
Vallejo Light Violet is a mid-toned, moderately saturated blue. Only one range matches it closely enough to swap without thinking: Apple Barrel Wisteria, ΔE 1.8. 23 of the 30 other ranges have nothing within ΔE 5, so a substitution from those will read as a different colour.
