    Cold is the absence of heat in a medium that can interact with temperature imo. It certainly wouldn’t act like normal cold; if you stuck your hand out and felt the vaccuum, it wouldn’t feel cold, and the heat in your hand would not flow outwards into space very much. There’s no convection, only radiation. Space isn’t cold, matter is cold, and there’s no matter.
