The only thing that affects Paraffin Wax is its make-up of Hydrocarbons. Some waxes are light (short Hydrocarbon chains (up to about 18 Carbons), and melt easily… like Birthday cake candles. Others, contain Longer Chain Hydrocarbons (up to 40 Carbons), they are ‘Heavier’ and melt slowly like Church candles. Adding colour makes no difference.
