colder, much colder or much more colder?
I know the word "cold" has 1 syllable and its comparative version should be "colder". However If I want to make my expression more powerful, what I need to do?
I mean which one is correct grammatically?
X is much more colder than Y
X is much colder than Y
or what else can be true?

"much more colder" is incorrect, because you can't use "more" and -er together. "much more" is not stronger than much, it's just the comparative used for 2+ syllable adjectives that don't end in -y
In other words, "X is much prettier than Y" = "X is much more beautiful than Y" (same meaning).
To make your comparative stronger, try these:
"X is far colder than Y"
"X is way colder than Y" (informal)
"X is much, much colder than Y" (informal)
"X is so much colder than Y" (informal)

Monday was cold. Tuesday was colder, but today is definitely the coldest days.
