Lithium Chloride to cool the pure palladium print tone?

Lithium Chloride to cool the pure palladium print tone?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

Does it make sense to add some lithium chloride to sodium chloropalladite solution in order to have a cooler print tone?

I am already using Fe Oxalate solution and equal amount of sodium chloropalladite solution and some sodium chloroplatinate as contrast agent (conforming the system of Dick Arentz)

I wonder if it could be possible to dissolve some lithium chloride in the coating solution to get a bit cooler tone.
I am happy with the paper I use(COT320) and the developer and the developing temperature(Pot. oxalate 33% at room temp. 22-25oC) so that I would like to not change them.

My second question is that for the same purpose, would the addition of Gold chloride work?

Your precious opinions will be appreciated.

Best
