The circumference \( C \) of a circle is related to its diameter \( d \) by the formula:

\[
C = \pi d
\]

Given that the circumference \( C \) is 27 mm, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter \( d \):

\[
d = \frac{C}{\pi}
\]

Substituting in the value of the circumference:

\[
d = \frac{27}{\pi}
\]

Now, using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
d \approx \frac{27}{3.14} \approx 8.6 \text{ mm}
\]

Therefore, the diameter of the circle to the nearest tenth of a mm is **8.6 mm**.
