It always depends on the size and shape of the candle. The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the predominant factor.

Other observations

* It's not the color of the candle, but the wick. If the wick is cheap the candle won't burn correctly or will burn out shortly after you light it. If the wick is of good quality, it will burn down the center of the candle without once going out.

* Candles that are plain (white) may burn faster because they don't contain as many chemicals in the wax.

* There is a good reason why one candle burns faster than another... because it takes less time to vaporize the wax.

* The color would only make a difference in that respect if a significant amount of the heat (imparted on the wax) came from the flame's infrared radiation. Because the wax is used up by being heated by the flame (and eventually being melted, vaporized, and then combusted), the composition of the wax and wick will have more consequence than how much light energy the wax absorbs or reflects.

Why does colored candles burn faster than white candles?

Colored candles can burn faster than white candles due to the impurities present in the pigments used to color them. These impurities can affect the combustion process, making the colored candles burn at a quicker rate. Additionally, the composition of the wax and the amount of dye used can also contribute to the difference in burning speed between colored and white candles.


Do white candles burn faster than colored candles project materials?

The color of a candle typically does not affect its burn rate. The speed of a candle's burn is mainly determined by factors like the type of wax, wick size, and environmental conditions. In a controlled experiment, you can test and measure how long it takes for different colored candles to burn to see if there are any noticeable differences.
