Mixing own Cold/Warm toned developers, advice please

I’ve been reading through the Darkroom Cookbook 2nd edition, and am interested in trying some of the neutral, warm, and cold tone developer formulas. I know this might sound a little silly, but will these warm / cold tone developers still have an effect on modern papers (ie develop a neutral tone paper in cold tone developer, and get a cold toned print?)?

Currently I’m working with two fiber papers, Arista.EDU Ultra FB VC & Fotokemika's Varycon Variable Contrast. Before I jump into buying the chemistry and mixing my own developers, I’d be interested to hear other peoples advice and experience with this.

Thanks for your help,
Martin

Martin, to get tones on those papers that please you, you will probably need to do some developer testing. There is a lot of paper developer information (formulas, procedures, comparisons, commentary, etc.) in the APUG chemical recipes section: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

There is a lot of additional information in the APUG threads - try the APUG search functions.

Here are some examples of relevant APUG threads:
