How close are they?

ΔE 14.2, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Fluorescent Green is a little lighter, warmer than Moot Green. They are different kinds of paint: Citadel Moot Green is an opaque base/layer paint and Tamiya Fluorescent Green is a fluorescent or effect paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
