2001 Infiniti QX4

Placard on car says 26 psi cold

Tires say 32-49

Rear tire is set to 27 cold

Does this look under-inflated? What’s the lowest I should go?

Because on OPs car the recommended tire pressure is lower than the minimum recommended by the tire manufacturer. Increasing it even further may affect ride quality. In most scenarios your approach is correct.
