Adobe's open-source counterpart with similar design philosophy
Why it matches: Source Sans Pro is essentially Adobe's open-source sibling to Myriad Pro, sharing the same humanist philosophy, generous x-height, and professional utility. Both feature open apertures, excellent screen legibility, and the warm-but-neutral character that made Myriad ubiquitous in corporate communications. Source Sans Pro's variable font version offers even more flexibility than Myriad Pro.

Warm humanist sans with a broad weight range and true italics
Why it matches: Fira Sans, from Erik Spiekermann's studio, shares Myriad Pro's humanist warmth and clear, open letterforms, with a generous x-height and a very broad weight range for building complete systems. It is a touch more characterful than Myriad's studied neutrality, but for corporate, editorial, and interface work it covers the same ground with genuine warmth.
