How close are they?

ΔE 11.6, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. The Fang is noticeably lighter, more saturated than Night Blue. They are different kinds of paint: AMMO by Mig Night Blue is an ink, glaze or transparent paint and Citadel The Fang is an opaque base/layer paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
