    Color Grading as @AxelMatt said is mighty fine for the job.

     

    The other techniques are more complex/advanced.

     

    I use Color Grading mostly but is good to be aware of the alternatives.

    For warmer colors you can use the color grading in LR. 

    New in Lightroom Classic: Color Grading (adobe.com)

    Color Grading in Lightroom like a PRO Colorist. - YouTube

    You can also to change the look by using the Temp and Tint slider to adjust the color temparature.

     

    If this doesn't help, please describe more detailed what you like to do and what you like to get.

     

    My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

      Another method is to use a Luminance Range in masking, target the dark areas that you deem are Shadows, and then add a color or change Temperature or Tint.

      You can also use RGB Local Curve.

       

      If you have a reference of the exact color you want to achieve then I suggest take advantage of the RGB values displayed under the histogram as you hover over the shadows in the reference.

      You can more easily match the reference color by looking at the values...assuming you need precisely that tone.

        Thank you,
        I will try this.
        I don t have precise color or reference, it s more a 'look and feel' thing. A warm and deep feeling.

        I know many photographer use LUTS to achieve some of their effect, but LUTS work according to to the white balance
        That s why I m asking for some 'real' adjustment I can use.
