It always depends on the size and shape of the candle. The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the predominant factor.
Other observations
* It's not the color of the candle, but the wick. If the wick is cheap the candle won't burn correctly or will burn out shortly after you light it. If the wick is of good quality, it will burn down the center of the candle without once going out.
* Candles that are plain (white) may burn faster because they don't contain as many chemicals in the wax.
* There is a good reason why one candle burns faster than another... because it takes less time to vaporize the wax.
* The color would only make a difference in that respect if a significant amount of the heat (imparted on the wax) came from the flame's infrared radiation. Because the wax is used up by being heated by the flame (and eventually being melted, vaporized, and then combusted), the composition of the wax and wick will have more consequence than how much light energy the wax absorbs or reflects.

∙ 15y agoNo, they do not. What is burning is paraffin. Yes, the coloring agent and the wick burn, too, but they are a tiny part of process. The only question is how much air is whipped into the candle. A solid one takes longer to burn than one that has been "lightened" by the inclusion of air in the paraffin (or wax, if you prefer). Next time you're looking at candles, lift a few of them and compare their weight.

∙ 14y agoyes because a white colerd candle has no color in it
also the darker the candle the more heat it absorbs

∙ 14y agoi think it is the same as white candles expect there is color and smell
