I consider myself a mild weather lover, though a lot of my friends and family would say I prefer cold weather. What I consider mild, they consider cold. My ideal climate would have average winter daytime highs in the 30s and 40s, overnight lows in the 20s and 30s, with a cold snap or two (teens and 20s), and a couple of good snows that don't stick around for more than a few days. Ideally, summer highs would never top 70, and overnight lows would always be in the 50s. I'm much more adaptable on the cold end of the spectrum. For example, a winter that's 10-15 degrees colder than my ideal wouldn't bother me, but a summer that's 10-15 degrees warmer than my ideal would bother me a lot. I like my current climate a lot, and in fact it's pretty close to my ideal, if a little too warm in the summer. Average highs in the winter bottom out in the mid 40s with lows in the mid to high 30s, and top out at low to mid 70s in the summer, with lows in the 50s. To me, this is a very mild climate, yet a lot of people I know back in TN think this is a cold climate (never mind the fact that winters there have lower averages, especially at night). Of course, all of the ones who say that have never been here...
That preferred climate seems mild to me as well. It's certainly not cold. However, objectively speaking I'd consider it to be on the cool end of "mild", if it's in the mild category at all.
I'd lump you into the "cool climate lover" category, along with Sophie.

Yes, lamplight seem to preffer colder weather than me, but we both seem to hate the same type of climate. I also enjoy the 40s and 50s, not so much the 30s and 20s, but i sure preffer them to anything above 80.
Maybe we are both in the mild category, im in the "warm" end, while he is in the cool end for sure.
The thing is that everyone haves a different classification for each type of climate. For example, people have said in this forum that mild weather is between 20 and 27 celsius (70 and 80f) ! while to Lamplight, mild weather is in the 20s, 30s and 40s. So, clearly, everyone haves a different definiton for "mild" weather.
So i made up the "cool" category, cause i didnt wanna be lumped into a category with people that enjoyed 27 celsius, when i absolutely HATE and LOATHE that type of weather.
We should establish what is what, there should be categories.
Categories could be.
Very Cold.
Cold.
Cool.
Mild.
Warm.
Hot.
Very Hot.
Or something like that. Have no idea what numbers should be, maybe those forumers that know a lot about climate should do it.
Cause if not, when someone says "mild" they mean super warm weather as weather in the 80s or so, and someone means weather in the 30s.
I mean, someone who likes temps in the 50s...is it a mild lover? a cool lover? a warm lover? dunno
I consider "mild" or a neutral climate to one near room temperature; subtract 10°F or so to adjust for the fact people feel warmer moving around. So, 55°F to 75°F or so would be mild to me. 45°F is cool and brisk.

I enjoy 40f nights, and days if they are sunny.
I LOVE 50f temperatures
I LOVE 60f temperatures.
I wouldnt mind 30f temperatures once in a while, specially if it means snow. Also, the 20s if its dry, sunny and snowy, it is ok. I spent two months in minneapolis in january and februaru 10 years ago, and temps were colder than that, and when it was sunny i remember feeling that days were nice, with all the snow and ice.
I start getting a bit nervous when temps approaches the 70s, though the low 70s are almost always nice. But they could be uncomfortable if its humid.
Anything above 80f i absolutely HATE, no exceptions!!!!!!!!
I guess you could say I prefer cool to mild temperatures, which is how I would classify my current climate. Since I've moved here, the range of temperatures I've experienced has been from the high teens to about 80, but that includes the extremes on both ends; the more typical range would be closer to 40-75. And to me, 40-75 is the epitome of mild weather. In the Nashville area during spring or fall, it wasn't terribly uncommon to experience a wider range of temperatures in one day. When I used to bike to work there, many days I'd ride to work wearing a long sleeve shirt, jacket, gloves, and hat, and on the ride home I'd be in just my tshirt and jeans and sweating like crazy because it was 80 or more.

We get high diurnal range days, too. Having to carry and switch layers is annoying, and since I don't mind hot weather, I dislike cold mornings / hot days combinations for biking. In the some parts of the inland PNW, I'd wear a jacket in the morning.
Most of those who prefer cool summers here prefer cold winters. Conversely there are few true continental climate lovers — most who want a cold winter also want a cool summer. There's a gap for NW Europe / PNW type climates as well as for interior Northern US climates (Chicago, Detroit, Western MA)

Cool to mild is a good description of your tastes. As for myself, these are the differing climates I'd consider, cool, mild, et cetera:
All of these climates exhibit these characteristics (cool, mild, etc.) in both summer and winter. As an example, Reykjavik has chilly summers and chilly winters, and San Francisco has warm summers and warm winters.
