cool and cold

[Marfel]

I came across a statement that says,

'Run cool (not cold) water over the burned area for 3-5 minutes.'

I was wondering, which is warmer cool or cold?

[Searching for language]

Cool is warmer than cold, think of it this way, cool would be as water might come out of the tap, cold is if you put it into a glass and add ice to it.
