Mark, find the dodojuice forum thread started by one of the dodojuice guys. It explains it all very well.
His tests, layering on a white panel, did show a difference, but very minor.
The way I see it...on a white or very light-coloured car, you might prefer to use one of the waxes based on white carnauba rather than yellow carnauba.
Decide on hard wax (which were reformulated to be more buttery) or soft wax which is oilier. Then decide which oil and wax you fancy - orange oil, banana oil, coconut oil...candellila wax or the wax produced from coal.

as above - notice that the Hard Candy (hard wax - foam applicator) and the Rainforest Rub (soft wax - finger applied) are not colour-charged like the rest. however, the colour is slight as the thread shows.
with the colour-charged waxes you get more formulation to subtly enhance the light, warm or dark (again as above) by use of the ingredients and colour of the waxes.
and as always, you can use any wax on any colour - only if you want to get that little bit extra can you experiment with the colour to colour-charge.
p.s. Hard Candy has some remarkable effect on dark grey which i am still trying to figure out, it is for all intensive explanations - inexplicable 8)

In your tests, wouldn't it not be good to recommended RR for all colors considering it leaves a greenish tint?
Also, would SN hybrid be a good wax for all colors?

BC/CC Paint Systems:
-I thought the purpose of the prep work (washing, cleaning, claying, de-contamination, compounding, polishing) was to try to eliminate as many blemishes on/under the clear-coat paint film's surface as feasibly possible....thereby creating a clear-coat that will be more "smoothed-out", as it were, and be optically clear and at its best in allowing the base-coat's "color" to shine through and be at its height in reflectiveness.
-For protecting that properly prepped clear-coat, adding an LSP
is always recommended. I am an adherent to that recommendation.
-In order to not obscure that most optically clear, prepped clear-coat, an LSP, that when it has cured, by the same suit, should be as optically clear as possible, IMHO.
-Waxes, as they start deteriorating, (some at a faster rate than others), will begin to gray and occlude the paint film's surface (in this case the clear-coat's). Those same "colors" (dyes) that are in a "colored wax", it seems to reason, will also deteriorate...creating even more occlusion (cloudiness) to a clear-coat paint's film surface.
-With paint manufacturers supplying thousands of different shades, tints, hues of the color spectrum...each one probably has at least 100 different whites, blacks, blues...
How is it possible that only a dozen or so "colors" for "colored waxes" are offered and by only a few wax 'companies'?? If "colored waxes" were a such a good thing, I believe many more wax 'companies' would be touting their own "colored" products.
What I've asked myself anytime I see or hear about "colored waxes" is this:
After all, can you actually "dye" (color) the clear-coat paint film by applying a "colored wax"??
SS Paint Systems:
IMO...Using "colored waxes" is the lazy man's way of trying to temporarily cover-up/fill-in blemishes. The next rain or wash/cleaning session is usually a revelation, though.
Once again I find that I'm asking myself these questions......(you may or may not)
1."Colored Waxes": Are they 'true'; a 'myth'; a 'gimmick'!!??
2. Can I have faith in, and spend my hard-earned money with, any 'companies' that offer "colored waxes" and the promises that purportedly goes with them? Or, any other products they may offer up for sale?

Its how I use their hard waxes....two panels then remove. Don't let it sit too long or removal becomes difficult.
