Yellows are not all warm, and blues are not all cool.

Thanks for pointing this out Peggy. I was in a very narrow groove here and thinking only in terms of my own palette (listed elsewhere) in which I have assembled both "warm" and "cool" versions of each color.
For example, by comparison with Prussian blue, ultramarine is "cool." Compared to the blue made by mixing Ivory Black + white, ultramarine blue is then "warm." The same comparisons go for reds, yellows, etc.
In other words, I find that any color is relative to those colors surrounding it and this placement will determine its temperature.
"Warm" and "cool" are relative terms and a concept, which I personally find to be useful when I am manipulating paint.
