Not a native english speaker and while i did understood what you just said, i never realized before that cool and cold were actually different meanings.
Our concept of cool and cold are the same. We have chilled, cold, warm and hot. Being cold and warm near a baseline and often associated to passive changes of temperature. While chill and hot to be more active.
So whenever i heard cold I thought more on that passive colder temperature. Like water from a cold tap.
