Gareth,

When using RGB separation curves to control print hue with a toner ink you
can use multiple curves. In 8-bit mode simply add a curve adjustment layer
with the cool or cold curve and a second adjustment layer with the warmer
curve. By adjusting the opacity of the layers you can blend the effect of
the curves and hit a hue that is somewhere in between
