A ΔE of 13.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Capri Isle vs Delicate Cornflower in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Capri Isle and Delicate Cornflower in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Delicate Cornflower returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Delicate Cornflower will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Capri Isle would.
