This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Milan Pink from Scale75 at 95 percent in a different finish class. Brassy Brass is a light moderate metallic gold with a warm undertone. Within the Vallejo range it ladders cleanly, Hammered Copper for the shadows and Glorious Gold for the highlights. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
Brassy Brass equivalents in other ranges
Brassy Brass is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Scale75 equivalent: Scale75 Milan Pink, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.0), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Jasper Skin, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.7), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Ryn Flesh, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Pale Flesh, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.4), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.0 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.

Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to Vallejo Brassy Brass?
No same-finish equivalent is close enough to call a straight swap. The nearest color overall is Scale75 Milan Pink at 95%, in a different finish class.
What finish is Brassy Brass?
Brassy Brass is a metallic paint with a gold 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 Brassy Brass with?
Highlight Brassy Brass toward Glorious Gold and shade it down into Hammered Copper, both Vallejo paints in the same finish family.
