This depends on various properties of the paper i.e. thickness, pigment etc... Generally, if you're referring to the brown wax paper used for polishing, that would also depend on the light source itself. But generally yes, it can if it's thin enough.

Why colorful pencil?
Coloured pencils have pigment embedded in the wax. When the pencil is rubbed against the paper, the tiny imperfections in the paper hold the wax that has the color. The principle is the same with wax crayons, but the pencil has much harder wax. To test this, colour a piece of paper with the pencil, then hold the drawing to a light bulb. You will find that the colours will "melt" with the heat and get a bit brighter. The wax was absorbed into the paper leaving the colour in the paper bits.
