How close are they?

ΔE 10.6, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Deathclaw Brown is more saturated than Earth. They are different kinds of paint: AMMO by Mig Earth is an ink, glaze or transparent paint and Citadel Deathclaw Brown is an opaque base/layer paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
