How close are they?

ΔE 11.0, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Our swatches for the two are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint: Army Painter Voodoo Shade is a wash/shade and Golden Burnt Umber Light is an opaque base/layer paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
