Hi, Try a simple experiment : set your camera WB to tungsten, and take an outside picture. Get the JPEG from the camera. It will be blue... so too cool.
It is the same in the raw processor, if it is an exterior daylight SCENE (quite neutral : 5500-6500K) and you set a warm colour temperature (3000K) for the PICTURE, it will appear be too cool. The behaviour is normal: you have to "compensate" so act the opposite as what you see. You tell the system the temperature YOU decide the SCENE was et not the temperature you would like the PICTURE appears.
