Colours - warm and cool

Hi all,
I recently had my colours done by Colour Me Beautiful and am trying to pay more attention to the types of colours I choose when buying clothes!
I am really struggling to identify whether colours are warm or cool though. Although I think I have the hang of reds and browns now, I'm struggling with blue.
Can anyone tell me whether the colour in the pic is a warm or cool blue please? Much appreciated!

Ps if you have any tips on how to tell, I'm happy to hear them. I'm really bad at this sort of thing!

Did they give you a card or booklet with them in?
I've not had mine done and one thing that appeals is getting a nice little pack with the colours in.

That blue looks cool to me, but on the brighter end rather than the grey/muted end.

Agreed- that’s a cool blue, and would be best on a light or cool summer. It’s too pale for winters, and too clear for soft summers.

That's a very cool blue.

Its a bit of a paradox to find a warm light blue, warm blues are normally teals or marine blues.

I find it useful to think about how much yellow a colour seems to have in it, the more yellow, the warmer it is.

Warm light blue. One of my favourite colours, especially in summer. Although it doesn’t particularly suit me as I’m more soft and mid/deep. But I wear it anyway because it makes me happy.

I try to think "has this got blue undertones or yellow?" Not sure of that helps.
