Please take some time to check out information and links on Bengal genetics and how genes impact cat color patterns. Some worthy links are as follows (below):

Here you will find that the marble coat color pattern is a recessive gene and thus the marble coloration is actually typically more rare. In essence the following quote is relevant in regards to marble coat color genetics: "The marble pattern is the result of a recessive gene. Two marble cats will always produce marble kittens. Two marbles bred together cannot produce spotted kittens. Spotted cats can carry the marble gene recessively though."
