    I am not an expert on this, but I have also noticed this happening
    when I use wax at work (I'm a dentist). I think the lighter colour
    is caused by very small amounts of air getting into the wax. 

    As long as there aren't any larger voids that affect the smooth
    surface of the wax, it shouldn't make any difference to your
    casting. You should still get a smooth surface when you invest and
    cast it. After all, all the wax is for is to create the shape you
    want for your final product.
