In formal writing and speech, fewer should be used with Countable nouns and less with uncountable nouns. Examples:
Fewer shades of green.
Parliament would have less power.
It is not standard English to use less with a plural or a number higher than one, as in the following example:
Less people vote in Euro elections than vote in local elections.
