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.

What is the conclusion for do white candles burn at a different rate then colored candles?

White canldes will probably burn at a different rate than colored candles for the simple reason that in order to get different colors, candles will have different compositions - you have to put different dyes (or other color source) into candles to make some of them green, some of them blue, some of them orange, etc. etc. etc. With that said, most of the time if all you have done is add a little bit of color to the wax, it won't affect the burn rate very much. Also keep in mind that even if you do change the burn rate, you would have to know what you used to make the color in order to determine if the burn rate increased or decreased. Burn rate depends on composition. Color depends on composition. Burn rate is only indirectly related to color.
