Indifference consoles in a different way (8)

I believe the answer is:

coolness

'indifference' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'consoles in a different way' is the wordplay.
'in a different way' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'consoles' with letters rearranged gives 'COOLNESS'.

(Another definition for coolness that I've seen is " Lack of warmth".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
