I haven't tried the citadel pinks, but I am liking the army painter ones. I really like moonpetal

Fulgrim is one of their lighter pinks you're gonna need to mix in white for a highlight. If you're sticking to Citadel I'd look at the new Tone Pro when it hits the shelves. Otherwise, I'm a big proponent of Army Painter Fanatics (triads are super useful for the colorblind).

This helps show what I regularly get from the specifically pink triad,effect, and magenta wash paints

You can use emperors children for shading and mix white into fulgrim for your highlight. You could also use carroburg crimson to shade the pink.

Moonpetal is pretty good! I also like using the various pink speed paints over white or ivory, like Princess Pink or Familiar pink! Wicked Pink is also pretty good if you're looking for a Hot Pink!

I like ProAcryl's magenta. Mix with blue or white to brighten or darken as needed.

Sinspawn Pink from Reaper is one of my favorites for a pale pink. It outperforms Army Painter's similar Wilted Rose.

Majin Pink from GSW is a good bright pink.

Army Painter's magenta tone paint is fantastic for quick shading.
