Who says the words in a SAT-style analogy have to be unique?
That was Jessi’s answer as well, but you wouldn’t really say “I can feel the cool of the refrigerator.” like you’d say with “I can feel the warmth of the stove.”
She thought that it really ought to be warm : warmth :: cool : cool, since those are closer to being opposites.
But regardless, the English language is odd. (But that shouldn’t be anything new.)
coldness.
Joe walked in to a warm room and felt the warmth
Joe walked in to a cold room and felt the coldness
I can’t think of an obvious noun corresponding to the adjective “cold”, but “cold” works as a noun too, so I’d answer:
warm : warmth :: cold : cold
(parts of speech: adjective : noun :: adjective : noun).
