At ΔE 1.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Angel Kiss vs Steam in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Angel Kiss and Steam are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Angel Kiss gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Angel Kiss reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
