I've not been to any Hindu temple, simply I saw such a floor in a photo.

Probably the photo is of Hare Krishna Temple, Juhu, Mumbai.

Not at all. There is no such rule as you have said. May be the temples you have seen might have flooring of black and white checked pattern.
All the ancient temples in South India is made of rock stone and the floor is also made of the same rake. Only in the recently built temples people use granite, tiles etc. as in near some temples rock stone may not be available...

ther is no such pattern all the olden temples are made with rock available in 10kms radius from the temple
so there may some place where some stone was available.

..... you did not see, but a photo, as if one of the group of blind people went to see the elephant, Pls listen, there is NO special coating rule in the Hindu Temple architecture. It belongs to a traditional architecture, called as 'Vaastu' - based on the face, internal flow of air and water and light and nearness to river, mountain and various other natural structures. Patterns are of the age and choice of the constructer.

It is only a marble floor tile, seen in the picture and not certainly a pattern in any of the Indian temples.

Most of the temples in India even do not have the floor.
So there is no specific logic to it. You can relate white to good and black to bad side of the soul

it is not a rule at all.the floor of a temple can be of any design or colour or pattern. maybe the floor was extra cospicuous and caught yr attention as having some definite meaning...
well the ans is no - it it does not mean anything at all

Different temples have different architecture.Most of the temples of Hindus including Kedarnath and Badrinath are totaly constructed of stones thus this conception of yours is not right.
