They are almost the same.
Κρύος means cold and Ψυχρός means cold but it has a sense of coolness or slightly chilly.
Common expressions
Έχει κρύο = It is cold, Έχει ψύχρα = It is cold or a bit chilly.
You can also say
κρύο αστείο meaning a joke with a bad sense of humour
and you can say
Είσαι ψυχρός meaning that someone is unemotional or unfriendly (the opposite of "warm people or person")
