Could someone explain warm, cool, etc.?

I keep hearing things described as warm toned, cool toned, etc. but I don't understand what that means. Like, I have a general idea that the super bright pinks are in the "cool" category but I can't seem to find any other patterns. What does it mean?

That aromaleigh link is really good. I wear clothes in the cool list and am cool toned. I do think paying attention to what colors look good on you is helpful in determining whether you are warm or cool. I hope you figure it out.
