It is definitely a very warm tone.  That is the raw carbon tone of the base
"gray" inks.  With the older pigments quads form MIS or Piezo/Cone, they
would be that brown when all the dyes burned off.

I doubt it.

What is needed, and I just have not had time, is a few more curves to fill
in the gap.  I'll get around to that sometime in the future.

You could look at the neutral curve and try raising the green (toner) curve
about half way to the top.  It's takes a bit of tweaking to get the tones
and densities smooth, but controlling the tone by the curves is the best way
to go.
