ΔE 3.1, very close: most people won’t see a difference side by side. Our swatches for the two are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint: Army Painter Sunpetal is an opaque base/layer paint and Tamiya Pearl Yellow is a pearl paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
