Anodized Violet is genuinely hard to match: no other brand has a same-finish equivalent close enough to swap, and the nearest color anywhere, The Army Painter Wilted Rose at 87 percent, is a different finish. Anodized Violet is a mid-tone muted metallic silver with a cool undertone. For modelling, drop to Dark Aluminium in the recesses and step up to Silver on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
Anodized Violet equivalents in other ranges
We ran AK Interactive Anodized Violet against every mapped catalog and came up empty: no brand makes a color close enough to call an equivalent.
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.6 rather than an obvious shift.

What finish is Anodized Violet?
Anodized Violet is a metallic paint with a silver tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
What do I highlight and shade Anodized Violet with?
Highlight Anodized Violet toward Silver and shade it down into Dark Aluminium, both AK Interactive paints in the same finish family.
