Fleur De Sel is a true neutral — the rare paint color that doesn't push warm or cool, which makes it forgiving across mixed-lighting rooms and existing palettes. At LRV 70 it reflects plenty of light, which makes it well-suited for north-facing rooms and smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. Skip it only if you specifically want a clear warm or cool bias — a true neutral stays intentionally undecided, which is the whole point.

Fleur De Sel Technical Profile
What color is Dunn-Edwards Fleur De Sel (DEGR55)? It's a light neutral off-white — hex #DDDAD7, LRV 70. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Fleur De Sel is Benjamin Moore Silver Bells — a near-identical match on the wall, with Behr Jodhpur Tan and Vista Paint Diamond Stud also close. With a Light Reflectance Value of 70, Fleur De Sel reflects a generous amount of light, making it well-suited for north-facing rooms or smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. Fleur De Sel is a true neutral — pair with any wood, any metal, any trim color. Off-white trim works in most homes; brushed nickel or matte black hardware both read well across spaces. As a lighter neutral, Fleur De Sel works as a whole-room or trim color and keeps adjoining colors reading clean — pair it with crisper whites a step brighter than itself so the trim still separates. True neutrals read consistently across lighting conditions, which is why they're popular base colors. They inherit a faint warm cast under 2700K and a cool cast under 4000K, but never dramatically. Lighter neutrals reveal their undertone most, so Fleur De Sel can swing warmer under 2700K bulbs and cleaner under 4000K daylight — sample it against your trim before committing.
