Color-wise this is a moderate, mid-tone blue leaning cool. Shade down into Blue Violet, the nearest darker paint in the AK Interactive line. Lilac is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though Citadel Hoeth Blue comes nearest at 77 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
