ΔE 10.2, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Brown Liner is a little lighter, more saturated than Nuln Oil. They are different kinds of paint: Citadel Nuln Oil is a wash/shade and Reaper Brown Liner 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 10). Brown Liner is a little lighter, more saturated than Nuln Oil. They are different kinds of paint.
The same difference applies the other way round: Nuln Oil is a little darker, more muted.
ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
