What color is Sherwin Williams Fleur de Sel?

Sherwin Williams Fleur de Sel SW 7666 is a very light, low-saturation gray with a faint green-gray cast visible in its #dcddd8 color value. It reads soft rather than stark, with slightly more warmth than a blue-based cool gray. In bright daylight, Fleur de Sel can appear close to an off-white gray, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its muted, earthy undertone. It is well suited to broad wall areas in kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms where a pale neutral is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, limestone, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Fleur de Sel

Fleur de Sel has an LRV of 72.13% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 72.13%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
