The options hot/cold are not present on washing machines in Europe, and instead you get these temperature gradings, generally they go from 30 °C to 90 °C. All water is collected from the cold water line and then heated inside the washing machine itself.
Since 30 °C is the lowest the machines usually go, we can’t even wash in cold water even if we want to. Kind of a pity.
My washing machine has a wheel to select multiple, heat-specific programs but also has a “cold” switch for other programs. I seldom use the heat specific ones, unless I’m particularly interested in a hot wash.
So I guess that the mileage may vary by country (I’m in Spain) and how old a washing machine is (mine is quite old).

Mine is cold, cold/hot, hot. Actual temp depends on the water heater setting.
That’s really all I do for lights or darks
