Capri blue vs Adriatic Sea

Capri blue (RAL Classic) and Adriatic Sea (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 3-point LRV gap — 12 for Capri blue vs 9 for Adriatic Sea — means Capri blue will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
