Modern candles are made out of paraffin wax and string.
That depends completely on the chemical composition of the fragrance used and the composition of the candle wax and wick
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 dominant factor. Wind and temperature will also affect the rate of burning.
The two components of a candle are wax and a wick. The elemental composition of both components can vary greatly. I'm going to take this literaly. Wax + wick
Most candles are made from a petroleum derivative known as paraffin. However, candles can also be made from beeswax.
It is a physical change, from a solid to a liquid. The chemical composition of the wax remains unchanged.
candle is made of Paraffin Waxes Just research the chemical composition of Paraffin Waxes.
Because the chemical composition is modified.

That depends on the density, cross-sectional area, and chemical composition of the candle, and on the turbulence in the air surrounding it.

White or colored candles may burn at the same rate or at different rates. 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.

I'm sure it is true that different coloring agents have different degrees of flamability, but the effect would be too small to detect, since they are present in only trace amounts. Most candles are made almost entirely of parrafin and burn at the same rate - with some variation based on the size of the wick.
