Rhys,

Yes, I think Satisfied is very warm personally. I guess it's just in the "neutral" category because it's more wearable for people with more neutral skintone than some of the other warm blushes? Desert Plum looks warmer on my skin than Carnal if I recall correctly... I expected it to be a bit cooler. A lot of "neutral" colors look too warm or too cool on my skin, though I've never quite figured out why!

If Velvet is a coppery deep purple, sounds like it would be a good deeper shade to pair with Plush? I like Plush, it looks reddish/purple/copper on me, but not quite dark enough for a liner, and I'm not a fan of it with black. It's a nice contrast with my blue eyes...though I have to be careful how I wear it, some days the reddish tone around my eyes makes me look ill. Oddly enough though, Plush on my Mom (cool toned, blonde hair, blue eyes) doesn't have the same reddish tone. It looks like a deep, shimmery mauve!
