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.
