The answer to this question most likely has to do with the albedo of crayon (wax, charcoal, etc). Albedo is the extent to which an object diffusely reflects light from light sources, measured as a ratio. The lower the albedo, the more light/energy is absorbed into the object. Since darker colored objects absorb more energy, the albedo of a darker crayon is probably lower than the albedo of a lighter crayon. This means the darker crayon, while absorbing more energy, will heat up faster than the lighter crayon.
This is why snow around a tree typically melts much faster and earlier than snow with nothing around it -- because of the tree bark's albedo is much lower than snow/ice and thus can absorb more energy faster, and heat up whatever is around it quicker.

Does the color of crayon affect its melting rate?
well actually it is my science fair projects but iam working on it right now........ but here is what i think............ i think yes because if a crayon is dark it might not take a lnog time for it to mel but it the crqaoyn is lite it is gonan go very quick because of the colors
Does the shape of an ice cube effect its melting rate?
Yes the shape of an ice cube affect its melting rate.Yes the shape of an ice cube affect its melting rate.
Does the color of water affect the freezing rate?
No
How does salt affect the cooling rate of water?
It does not affect the cooling rate of water, but the cooling rate of ice.. It lowers down the melting point of ice. Salts like Potassium Nitrate as well as Ammonium Nitrate are used to lower the melting point, so, the ice takes ENERGY to transform into water from the surroundings causing the surroundings to become cool.
Does color affect water temperature?
Color of what? If it's water, then it's not pure water, and it probably affects the rate of absorption of radiation from the sun.
Does the color of ice cubes affect the melting rate of ice cubes?
hello no it does not

Does the color of ice affect its melting rate?
Yes it will because darker colours absorb more heat rays.
Does the shape of an ice cube effect its melting rate?
Yes the shape of an ice cube affect its melting rate.Yes the shape of an ice cube affect its melting rate.
Does the amount of salt affects ice melting rate?
The amount of salt does affect the rate of melting. Salt normally raises the boiling point thus reduces melting rate.
Does the color of ice cream affect it's melting rate?
No, it does not. The color is artificial color not the real color. With strawberry ice cream you can see the individual strawberrys but the ice cream itself is probably not the true color.
Does the amount of salt in ice cubes affect its melting rate?
Yes
Does the shape of ice affect the melting rate?
Yes. The more surface that is exposed to above-freezing temperatures would affect the rate of melt.
Does the color of water affect the freezing rate?
No
How does temperature affect the rate of melting of ice?
The greater the temperature, the greater the rate of melting, all things being equal. The rate of melting will ultimately depend on the rate of heat transfer, and the rate of heat transfer will be dependent on the temperature difference between the ice and the surrounding air.
Does color effect which an ice cube melts?
The rate in which an ice cube melts is dependent on the temperature of the outside air. The hotter it is the faster ice will melt. The color of a cup or dish will not affect the melting process.
Does the color of birthday candles affect its burn rate?
no
