Thanks so much, Jackie! That was *kinda* my theory, didn't know I went that close to what you're saying. My theory was that they were saying NC is cool because it's more of a greenish neutral, NW is warm because it's more of a reddish neutral.
But this makes so much sense! Only thing is, my eyes will forever see a purplish red as cooler than an orangey red, it's just about the way it "feels", you know? But from an artist's point of view, I finally get it :D

This may explain why they matched me to nc15 but now that I think about it maybe they were incorrect with my matching. Thank you for explaining! :)

Thank you for clearing this up. I've had such a hard time figuring out my undertones are. It should be easy but I just can't seem to figure it out!
