The type of wax is going to dictate the burning rate of a candle, as will the diameter of the candle. A large diameter candle will burn its length more slowly than a small diameter one. Think how fast birthday cake candles burn down.

Why does the color of candles affect how they burn?

The color does not specifically affect how they burn. What DOES impact it is the composition of the candle. Incidental to candles having different compositions is that they may be of different colors - but the difference in they way they burn is not because of the color, it is because of what they are made of.
