In my experience, the brown produced by the Ware Malde method is a  
less yellow, more neutral to slightly reddish brown than the 'warm'  
tone you get from the hot potassium oxalate developed traditional FO  
process . I actually prefer the Ware/Malde tone.

You also mentioned thiourea toning. A wide range of tones are  
possible in that process by varying the base used to mix the  
redeveloper, the ratio of bleach to rehalogenating salt, and the type  
of salt, not to mention the type of paper and developer used on the  
front end. I have gotten everything from cold purple brown to the  
yellow brown you mentioned by modifying these variables.
