The hue of toned image depends strongly on the paper AND
developer. For maximum toning effect, it is best to use DS-14 or
Dektol 1+2 for full development time.

It's true that y ou have to try to figure this out, but it is not true
to say that direct toners generally produce colder tones. It all
depends on the paper, developer, toner concentration, toning temp and
toning time. I wouldn't generalize it. I have many experimental
samples of prints that look too light and yellow from direct sulfur
toners.
