I agree with Marc that a cooler or warmer palette is mainly a matter of color grading. The short below is an example of how warm RED-material can look, using a melancholic palette of golden hues en green tones in soft contrast:

Whether digital produces a warmer or cooler palette has nothing to do with the format, but more to do with how it is color timed in post-production. I think the \’coolness\’ you speak of is probably the sterility and harsh video sharpness of the image, verses the softer, more organic nature of a film image. \’Inception\’ was quite a cold film despite the fact it was shot on film whilst The Lovely Bones the Star Wars Prequels and many other saccharine films were shot digitally. Its more a matter of how its treated.

With the amazing sensitivity to light of these cameras and the ability to change anything in a digital intermediate it seems like the art of light and cinematography (not to mention the roles of everyone in the lighting department of films) is irrevocably changed. No more waiting an hour between setups while the DP laboriously tweaks one bulb endlessly.
