Would I use this texture when I am making a gray and white marblized object?
there's the texture:

texture {
 pigment { marble
   color_map {
    [0/4 color rgb <1,1,1>]
    [1/4 color rgb <1,1,1>]
    [1/4 color rgb <1,1,1>*.5]
    [2/4 color rgb <1,1,1>*.5]
    [2/4 color rgb <1,1,1>]
    [3/4 color rgb <1,1,1>*.5]
    [3/4 color rgb <1,1,1>]
    [4/4 color rgb <1,1,1>]
    }
  }
}

  If you want...

-- 
#macro N(D)#if(D>99)cylinder{M()#local D=div(D,104);M().5,2pigment{rgb M()}}
N(D)#end#end#macro M()<mod(D,13)-6mod(div(D,13)8)-3,10>#end blob{
N(11117333955)N(4254934330)N(3900569407)N(7382340)N(3358)N(970)}//  - Warp -

Marbelization usually involves turbulence. Try adding "turbulence 0.6"
or "turbulence 3" or some other value.
Marbelization also doesn't tend to have such sharp colour boundaries, so
the colour_map might be better like this:

  colour_map {
    [0/4 colour rgb <1,1,1>]
    [1/4 colour rgb <1,1,1>*.5]
    [2/4 colour rgb <1,1,1>]
    [3/4 colour rgb <1,1,1>*.5]
    [4/4 colour rgb <1,1,1>]
  }

You might also consider adding extra stripes (e.g. by splitting your
colour map into eighths instead of quarters) and varying the "*.5"
values slightly. It depends on the exact effect you are looking for.
