Does the color of the candle affect the amount of time a candle will burn?

no, actually it depends on the wick of the candle. the color has nothing to do with it. A candle with a straight wick burns better and longer than a candle with a crooked wick. Also the wax has a lot to do with it. Wax is the most important ingredient that makes a candle burn faster. soft wax has a higher oil content and lower melt temperature; therefore, it burns faster. Candles in jars have a soft wax, and pillar candles have a hard wax. the longest burning candles are pillar candles made of a blend of beeswax and paraffin.
To sum it up: color makes no difference at how fast a candle burns. black candles burn no faster than white candles. Wick size is the primary factor determining the candle burning rate. the bigger wick will deliver more fuel to the burning flame.

Why does the color of candles affect how they burn?
The color does not specifically affect how they burn. What DOES impact it is the composition of the candle. Incidental to candles having different compositions is that they may be of different colors - but the difference in they way they burn is not because of the color, it is because of what they are made of.
