Color-wise this is a vivid, mid-tone pink leaning warm. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Vallejo Fluorescent Magenta is the nearest same-finish option at 82 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Aurora Pink equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Humbrol Aurora Pink cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Fluorescent Magenta, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
Nearest in the Green Stuff World catalog: Green Stuff World Majin Pink, only a loose relative (delta E 9.0).
Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Fluorescent Magenta, only a loose relative (delta E 9.0).
From Citadel: Citadel Doomfire Magenta, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5), but it is an ink / wash / contrast so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Check it on a spare model first, because Vallejo Fluorescent Magenta sits clearly more muted and cooler than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
