What color is Farrow and Ball Plummet?
Farrow and Ball Plummet 272 is a medium, low-saturation grey with a faint softened warmth rather than a sharp blue cast. Its #8d8d8b value reads as an even, grounded neutral, deep enough to give walls definition without becoming near-black. In bright daylight, Plummet can appear clean and mineral-like; under warmer lamps, its subtle beige-grey side becomes more apparent. It suits studies, hallways, kitchen cabinetry, and exterior trim where a measured mid-tone is needed. Pair it with chalky off-whites, pale stone, weathered oak, blackened metal, or natural linen for a restrained, tactile scheme.

LRV of Plummet
Plummet has an LRV of 26.73% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
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 26.73%, 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.
