This strong architectural grey is named after the lead often used by anglers to weight their lines. Plummett intensifies in colour in smaller spaces and has a strikingly modern feel which is conducive to minimal living. Used as much on woodwork to define dramatic spaces as it is on walls, Plummett is one of our most hard-edged and industrial feeling greys. There are many colors that can be paired with Farrow and Ball Plummet. It works well with Wevet, Pavilion Gray and Hague Blue colours.
