That depends on its size, shape, and composition. The color is pretty irrelevant except that it is influenced by the composition. There is a lot of urban folklore out there about different colored candles burning at different rates, but it is not the color that matters.

Why do white candles burn faster than colored ones?
White candles burn slightly faster due to coloring pigments found on colored candles.
If you have blue white yellow and pink candles what color burns faster?
neither. The color does not effect it.
What color candles last longer?
White candles. The colour of the candle doesn't matter, only the dye in the wax only has a change of seconds. The only properties that really matter are the composition or type of wax (paraffyn, beeswax, plant waxes,...), also its thickness and lenght.
What is most candles are made of?
Candles are made of wax, fragrance oils, dye blocks that are used to color candles. Keep in mind that there are different types of waxes that can be used to make candles. Some Candles also can contain natural essential oils as well.
What is the dependent variable of do colored candles or white candles burn faster?
All else being held constant - the dependent variable is the composition of the chemical(s) used to color the colored candles. Some additives will speed burning because they are themselves flammable. Some will slow burning because they are less flammable. Some will cause the melting point of the wax to be depressed so that the wax melts quicker - and as it melts and drains away, the candle will burn faster. A more critical factor in reality though is that colored candles are usually made with a different composition than white candles to make it easier to color them. Not only do they contain something to give them color - the composition of the wax the color is added to is different as well. Once you change the basic composition of the candle that much it is tough to compare the candles. It becomes like trying to compare burning oak to burning pine. Yeah - they are similar but you really are not burning the same thing and you don't expect them to burn at the same rate. By controlling the composition of the wax, you can make candles burn faster or slower - without respect to what color they are or if they have no color at all (assuming you don't call white a color).
What burns faster white candles or colored ones?
