There really isn't one... The range isn't designed to match GW or Game Color.

Are there any that are in anyway close?

Vallejo Game Colour 72.022 is named Ultramarine Blue. Note that GW ddn't invent either word ;-]

Vallejo has colour charts up for each of their ranges. http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/game-color/family/18

The Model Air range is aimed more at modelling rather than us tabletop people, that's why it has different camo/military colours rather than the much more colourful bits we use for SF/Fantasy. The Game Colour range is meant for tabletop however, comes in the same type of bottles with the same price, but is a bit thicker.

I've had no problems at all when airbrushing Vallejo Game Colour thinned with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. Since I also like to check the Model Air paint in a secondary container and thin it as I see fit, the only pratical difference is the amount of thinner I add. Note that the Game Colour paint is supposed to dry faster (but it wont until you sprayed it) and leave a more resilient coat of paint, since they expect the models to be handled.

If you want to match a non-airbrush color just turn it into an airbrush color. It's something you should learn anyway:
