Capri blueRAL ClassicvsJay BlueSherwin-WilliamsΔE 3.5Noticeable difference

At LRV 12 vs 9, Capri blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Capri blue vs Jay Blue in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Capri blue and Jay Blue 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.

Front Door

Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Kitchen Cabinets

On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Digital color is approximate.

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