27:32:40 is a 5-limit minor triad. The simplest 5-limit tuning of the minor triad is 10:12:15, in which the third and fifth are higher by the 81/80 comma. The 27:32:40 triad is considerably more dissonant due to the 40/27 wolf fifth. But this triad does occur in various 5-limit diatonic scales, for example Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale (Zarlino).
