Have you actually tested this to make certain that it's true? There's no particular reason a white candle should burn at a significantly different rate than a colored candle made from the same material using the same process. (The dye used is not present in large enough amounts to make much difference.)
This seems to be a common belief, but the people who work in candle factories (whom one presumes would know) generally say it's not true.
