Titanium has a relatively low thermal conductivity for a metal.


Which should make it hotter, right?


The actual temperature only depends on the surface color.

The perceived temperature is that less conductive objects are less hot/cool than more conductive ones.


But a lower thermal conductivity will make it feel less hot when you sit on it.
