ΔE 14.6, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) is a little lighter, much more saturated than Beowulf Blue. They are different kinds of paint: Army Painter Beowulf Blue is a one-coat contrast-style paint and Golden Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) is an opaque base/layer paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
Only where an exact match doesn’t matter, such as a new unit or a highlight. Fair match (ΔE 15). Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) is a little lighter, much more saturated than Beowulf Blue. They are different kinds of paint.
The same difference applies the other way round: Beowulf Blue is a little darker, much more muted.
