How close are they?

ΔE 0.5, perfect: as near the same colour as our swatches can tell. Our swatches for the two are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint: Pro Acryl Primer White is a technical paint or medium and Vallejo Aluminium (Metal.) is a metallic, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.

Can I use Aluminium (Metal.) instead of Primer White?

Yes, for most jobs. Perfect match (ΔE 1). The swatches are almost the same. They are different kinds of paint.

Can I use Primer White instead of Aluminium (Metal.)?

The same difference applies the other way round.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under 2 is a perfect match (you’d struggle to tell them apart), under 6 very close, under 10 close, under 15 fair, under 20 loose, under 30 very loose, and 30 or more a poor match. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
