Go to B and Q and get it mixed. They can scan a photo or you can look at the dozens of little cards and match it yourself.

This one maybe?

(Noting that the picture in the original post will make the purple look pinker than it is because of the blue paint round the outside)

Thanks all!

@Ineffable23 yea I think my issue is that I don’t fully understand how colours effect each other, like the blue/grey making the door appear pinker. I’ve bought a few tester pots and they all seem too purple

I spotted an aerosol listing using this photo. Not sure it would be good for painting a door though. It's the first demo photo. No guarantee it isn't filched from elsewhere though.

It looks like AI, and I think it has a dark filer on, it all.looks a little grey on my phone. The orientation of your door will also change how the colour appears, not just the grey on the frame. Plus green (in the plants) us the opposite on the colour wheel, so that will affect it too. Plus the overall colour of your house. Personally I'm not a fan of purple, it's really tricky, but I think you need to look at ones with a blue base rather than a red one to get this colour.

So is what you're looking for something that is as pink as that appears to be, given the blue next to it, but without it having to have blue next to it?

I'd try something like this if so, I think your only option is to try pinker than you fell like it ought to be if the stuff you've tried so far has some out too purple:
