Plummet vs Thunderbolt
Where Plummet belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Thunderbolt is a PPG color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Plummet (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Thunderbolt (LRV 23), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
