I was wondering, is the reason for shifting to a warmer value specifically for this lesson, or is it a more general rule about color shading? I thought that values tend to get cooler the less light is applied to them, and warmer as more light is upon them, depending on both the color and the type of light they’re being hit with.

I asked myself the same question and did a little digging. Basically, yes, you can do whatever you want. Yes, you can move everything to cooler values. I've tried but it seems less vibrant, it seems rather dead ( that's just my opinion ). By bringing in warmer colors, you bring life and energy to your painting. It's also closer to nature. The side least exposed to light is illuminated by ambient light, usually the sky, so it's blue (cold). The other side, in shadow, receives the rays of light that bounce off the ground, so it's still fairly lit by this source and therefore warmer than the other side.
