I actually won't dip into "cool" and "warm" all that much because that's what's actually confusing.

Aww... Maybe I can find a way to explain it sometime later. It's actually not too difficult to work out.

For example, you might add a yellow/ yellow-green base color to grass that's sitting in the sun or blue/ blue- green for the opposite case. I kinda base it on the litteral warmth / coolness of things in the piece.

Warm and cool system is good for obvious colors, but when it comes neutrals where at least 3 primaries are involved that are really close to one another, that's where it's getting really confusing.

I use "saturation" for most part of the judgement, and "value scale," warm and cool is secondary in my explanation but I will mention it, I don't want people to worry too much about that, I have seen many tutorials and none really explain warm and cools in secondary/neutral sections all that well and thus I question the use of warm and cool categorization, I think its useful to address primaries and secondaries, but weak to address neutrals which also has its own temperature. 

Example... 
You mixed a dark green and red together... you get a brown that's more red.
Then you mix blue and orange together, you also get a different brown, that's more grassy yellow, but it also has red in it.
Then mix both of these browns to get a gray brown...  
Then mix in the gray brown into both first two browns but make them different.

Both involved warm and cool family, now have some fun trying to guess which brown has more warm family which has more cool. 
Options can start to vary on warm/cool when it comes to this fine scale depending on eyes, lighting, you can probably settle on something in the end, but that takes so much time to judge it's inefficient.

Saturation and value scale... no one will need to worry about that, cuz those are super obvious, digital art wise, you can check with one click. I want to stay with the obvious.

Yeah, I see how that can get confusing... If I had to pick though I'd say the first brown is warmer, but I guess that depends on what a grassy yellow looks like.

Anyway, simple is good, no arguments here! ^^

yes we can still tell from the first browns, not so much after even more mixes. That's why i rather use warm/cool in a limited way.
