ΔE 5.6, very close: most people won’t see a difference side by side. Pale Sand is more muted, warmer than Pearl.

Yes, for most jobs. Very close match (ΔE 6). Pale Sand is more muted, warmer than Pearl. They are different kinds of paint.
The same difference applies the other way round: Pearl is more saturated, cooler.
ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
