How close are they?

ΔE 14.2, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Azure is a little darker, more saturated, warmer than Azure Blue.

Can I use Azure instead of Azure Blue?

Only where an exact match doesn’t matter, such as a new unit or a highlight. Fair match (ΔE 14). Azure is a little darker, more saturated, warmer than Azure Blue.

Can I use Azure Blue instead of Azure?

The same difference applies the other way round: Azure Blue is a little lighter, more muted, cooler.

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.
