Anyone used F&B Hardwick White on their walls? What's it like?

Have splodged several greyish samples on walls (large living room, west facing), and I love Hardwick white as it has that lovely murky I'm-not-sure-what-colour-it-is quality...

Has anyone used it anywhere in their house and how does it look? My only worry is it may be a bit too intense if that makes sense? At the moment in the morning light it looks lovely and calm and velvety Smile

And what white should I use with it (on woodwork, ceilings)?

Thanks in advance!

I have it on garage doors and it's lovely, looks a grey green colour (would they say green though if I had to be pinned down to one!). i've often thought it's an under-rated f&b colour

Definitely looks like it has an olive tinge?

Looks great though and I would have thought that if it's a west facing room it can take the intensity of the colour. I would be inclined to keep skirting and ceiling very light to balance it.

Thank you so much for replying, we're doing ceiling and all woodwork white and have dark green tiles round fireplace so think if it looks olive-y that should work well!

My tester splodge on the wall sometimes looks grey, sometimes brown, sometimes taupe...
