The large molecules of paraffin (and there are several different ones) "cling" to each other electromagnetically, similar to butter. They all form a solid at temperatures below about 117°F or so. Above that temperature to about 147°F, the paraffin molecules "unhook" from each other and become a liquid during the melting process. Note that there is a temperature range for the melting point of paraffin because of the different molecules in this substance. The pigments don't really affect the melting point under normal circumstances. If the crayon is absorbing radiant heat to melt, however, the darker colors, particularly black, will facilitate that process. A link can be found below for more information.

if you light a candle you'll see that the candle will slowly melt and crayons are made from WAX (not ear WAX)!
Please rate! :)

Science fair project with crayons?
You could melt different types of crayons to see which color melts faster. that would be categorized as chemistry
Which different brands of crayons melt faster?
All colors of crayons melt at about the same temperature and at about the same rate, all things being equal. If the heat source is infrared (IR), then the darker ones will absorb more heat, and faster, and will melt first. Black should lead the pack under these circumstances.
Do crayons set fire on the radiator?
Crayons are colour powder pigments held in a binder of wax. So the wax will melt on a warm to hot radiator.
Why do rose art crayons melt faster than Crayola crayons?
Well I'm completely sure if this is right 'cause i have no proof but Rose art has a higher wax content then the leading brand which in my case is crayola so i think and I'm pretty sure rose art will melt faster

Can crayons melt and turn hard again?
YesConfirmed with this website: http://craftsanity.com/?p=1007
Does crayon dissolve in hot water?
Crayons are a wax and will not dissolve in water, rather they melt. Dissolving means the water will contain ions or molecules dispersed throughout the water. Crayons melting in hot water will float to the top as a liquid mess.
