How close are they?

ΔE 17.1, loose: different enough that you should pick on purpose. Warpfiend Grey is a little darker, much more muted, cooler than Violet. They are different kinds of paint: AMMO by Mig Violet is an ink, glaze or transparent paint and Citadel Warpfiend Grey is an opaque base/layer paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
