How close are they?

ΔE 14.3, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Pearl Light Red is a little darker, more muted, warmer than Fulgrim Pink. They are different kinds of paint: Citadel Fulgrim Pink is an opaque base/layer paint and Tamiya Pearl Light Red is a pearl paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
