Metals seem cooler to the touch because our perception of the temperature is governed by both the actual temperature, as well as the thermal conductivity of the metal. And if the metal also has a high thermal capacity, this feature will delay the metal from approaching the real temperature.
The temperature we are sensing is of course how close to body temperature the metal is.
As to which metal, the combination of thermal conductivity and thermal capacity will feel coldest. Probably silver or copper.

Why does a piece of metal at room temperature feel cooler than a piece of wood room temperature?
If the room temperature is cooler then you are. it is because metal is a good conductor of heat. When you put your hand on the metal it immediately starts to draw heat away from your hand this gives you the impression that it is cooling you, which it is. If you do the same with a piece of wood it is not able to draw the heat away from you be cause it is a reasonable insulator.
What state of matter is plutonium?

What state of matter is rutherfordium at room temperature?
It is supposed that rutherfordium is a solid metal.
Why does a metal object feels cooler then a wood object at room temperature?
Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood, so when you touch a metal object at room temperature, it conducts heat away from your skin more effectively than a wood object. This rapid transfer of heat creates the sensation of the metal feeling cooler even though both the metal and wood objects are at the same room temperature.
