Hooker's green is not a pigment I have used in some time. However, I read recently, how useful it is in making a greater range of greens. Since then I have put a dollup on my palette to experiment with.
As you can see in the above photograph, hooker's green adds a cool temperature to your watercolor painting. Here, I have added burnt sienna to hookers green. It has been said that hooker's green has the pigmentation of apple leaves.
Many pigments right out of the tube seem flat and unexciting. Hooker's green I definitely would concur is one of those pigments best when used in mixes with other pigments.
