Do light candles burn faster than dark color candles?

In theory, dark candles should burn faster, as dark light absorbs more heat than light colours, as light colours reflect more (which is why you can distinguish between dark and light colours). If the candles are made from identical wax, the dark colour should burn faster, as it would get hotter. However if it's different coloured wax it's most likely that the different wax has different properties which could change the difference in time.


What materials do you need for the experiment to determine if light candles burn faster than dark candles?

A series of light colored candles and a series of dark colored candles.Matches or a lighter.A stop watch or clock.


What are considered cool colors vs warm colors?

Cool colors are generally colors with more blue in them and warm colors have more orange. Blue is the coolest color, and therefore orange is the warmest because it is the farthest color away from blue (they are compliments). The color wheel can be divided into global warm/cool halves, with blues, purples, and greens on the cool side and reds, oranges, and yellows on the warm side. However, every color can have local warm/cool variations. A yellow-green is warmer than a blue-green. A purple-red is cooler than an orange-red.Warm/cool has nothing to do with light/dark as the previous answer incorrectly stated. A dark orange (brown) color is warmer than a light blue and, similarly, a light orange is also warmer than a dark blue.


Why does a color candle burn faster than a white one?

White is a color that reflects light, along with the heat. the other colors of the spectrum obsorb light, so with light, it also obsorbs heat, making it melt faster.
