Depends: Mercury has the lowest overall temperatures as night on the planet can reach -173C (-279F). However day time temperatures at the equator reach 426C (800F). Also, a full rotation on Mercury is 58.6 Earth days. Parts of Mercury's polar regions are never exposed to the sun and reach temps below -171C (-276F) during the entire Mercurial day.

For absolute coldest temperatures reached: Mercury wins.

For mean equatorial temperatures:

Mars: -63C (-81F)

Mercury: 67C (152F)

For mean temperatures: Mars wins
