Would that work in a Hallway (assuming the hallway also includes stairs along a wall which is the most common)big-all wrote: you can add a picture rail in the hall and paint above the rail the ceiling colour to reduce the height
If you extended the picture rail up the stairs, then there would be a coming together of picture rails with ceiling colour on walls above and below rail.
Or you stop the picture rail at the start of the stairs and go vertical, which would give a side-by-side colour change
I do the ceiling colour above rails upstairs in bedrooms actually and I think it looks good and it is effective - but can't visualize it in a HSL.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

several ways of doing it
if your picture rail terminates you continue the coulour underneath to the ceiling in a strait line at right angles at the end off the picture rail
if the picture rails are close but at different heights the a straight line between them as long as it looks right
