Valkyrie Yellow is a very light vivid yellow with a warm undertone. For modelling, drop to Zombie Flesh in the recesses and step up to Vanilla Drop on the edges, both Green Stuff World paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Scale75 Wasp Yellow is the nearest same-finish option at 80 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Valkyrie Yellow equivalents in other ranges

Closest Scale75 equivalent: Scale75 Wasp Yellow, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Pale Yellow, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
From Vallejo: Vallejo Moss And Lichen, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Space Dust, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.9).
Worth knowing before you swap: Scale75 Wasp Yellow runs clearly more saturated and warmer, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
