You're probably right. Adding the extra blue light makes the floor less 
dark and the candle less brown, but also makes the light it casts look 
less yellowish. (And the dark brown wood probably doesn't help.)

Getting the balance of warm to cold colours is proving to be a challenge...

The flame is probably the easiest part to fix. (Which is why I haven't 
bothered with it yet.)

A pool of molten wax would be good, but I'm really not sure how to 
achieve it. (It took me hours to figure out the equation to make a 
round-topped cylinder!)

The candle and box are supposed to be quite small...
