ΔE 10.6, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Dusken Green is more muted, warmer than Waystone Green. They are different kinds of paint: Citadel Waystone Green is a technical paint or medium and Vallejo Dusken Green is a metallic, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.

Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
