Marble floors may feel cold, but they are actually the same temperature as the air around them. They FEEL colder because stone is more conducive to temperature than air. What that means is that skin in contact with air dissipates heat into the air more slowly than skin in contact with marble. The stone is absorbs the heat at a much greater rate than the air, making your skin feel cold, thus the stone feeling cold to the touch.
