Farrow and Ball off white for kitchen

I want a quick-fix update of my kitchen/ extension. It is currently White Tie, which I had lazily intended to repaint the same colour. However, I can't get too excited- I find it a bit yellow as the room is very light. I have a limestone floor, have no intention of repainting the white woodwork, but may paint the oak units at some stage. The black granite worktops and up stands make the kitchen area darker.
Rooms nearby are lime white (lounge), light blue (sitting room) and hall which is also due to be repainted.The house is Edwardian, so high ceilings.
Any inspiration?

I have Pointing in my kitchen. Goes well with limestone floor and is a warmer tone, in my opinion.

no advice but i have White Tie in my back hallway and i find it very yellow/cream and was hoping for a more off white too. i can't be bothered to re-paint it now!

Pointing here too in our kitchen diner. I think it is light and fresh.

Slipper satin has worked really well on our kitchen units.

I love slipper satin but it is very cream. I'd go for pointing or even Wimborne White if you want a clean white other paint brands are available

Sorry - I had a strike through fail there at the end

A decorator told me recently that Johnston paint is the same as F&B. Haven't checked it out yet but will save money if true.

Do you mean the colour Off White or a general off white. We have FB Off White in our conservatory. Its a chalky greenish. Slightly darker to James White but same tones. I really like it. Would go well with limestone floor. Would be ok with oak units but really lovely if you painted them a whiter white.

Sorry meant to say slightly darker than Lime White. We have James White, Lime White and Off White throughout our downstairs.All different shades of the same tones. Off White is the strongest and nicest imo.

Thanks for the very quick response. I think pointing is a good idea for the walls, and will go for a stronger colour if and when I can face painting the units.
