When you think of what makes a color have a “cool” temperature, think of that color next to gray or blue. If the undertones seem to match, then it's likely a cool version of that particular color. Brown is inherently a warm color, because its base is yellow/orange.

Crayons use wax and Oil pastels use non-drying oil and wax. ... As opposed to that, crayons are harder and the two crayon colours don't really mix together, very well.
