Color-wise this is a muted, dark pink leaning cool. For modelling, drop to Tempest Blue Wash in the recesses and step up to Bone Wash on the edges, both Two Thin Coats paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Citadel Targor Rageshade closest at 87 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Magi Purple Wash equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Two Thin Coats Magi Purple Wash cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel Targor Rageshade, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.5).
Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Magenta Tone, only a loose relative (delta E 8.6).
Best Monument Pro Acryl option: Monument Pro Acryl Faded Plum, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.7), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
From Scale75: Scale75 Black Leather, only a loose relative (delta E 8.2), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
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 2.5 rather than an obvious shift.
