Actually, color temp, is in Kelvin, so lower is cooler. But as the color temp increases it turns more blue from red. Artistically blue is considered cool color while red is warm. Just think the hottest part of a flame is blue.

It's probably better to just say, "4200K is more reddish." Than use "cool" or "warm" as they have opposing meanings to different people.
