Wow, heaven isn't cheap at your church!

White ones are $1, purple ones are $3, and the cool red ones are $5 for the small and $10 for the large, or $25 for 3.

Prayer candles come in various colors, each with its own symbolic meaning.
The common ones are,

White candles to symbolize the perfection of Christ and are often used in churches due to their bleached beeswax, representing purity.

Purple candles are commonly used during Advent, to denote penance, and are also sometimes used during Lent to indicate the blood of Christ.

Pink candles are typically lit on Gaudete Sunday during Advent, signifying the overcoming of darkness by the Light of Christ.

Red candles are used to honor the Passion of Christ and the martyrs.

No, there is no religious significance to the color of the candles. But there might be categorizing by the church, just for their own operations: one color for each altar, larger candles cost more, etc.

Do the different colors mean anything? I notice red prayer candles on one side and two different colors on the left side. Unsure if that has meaning depending on what you’re lighting them and praying for?

Thank you.

Maybe they're related to the suggested/required donation? (there used to be such a marker -- I haven't lighted a candle in a long time)

The colors have no meaningful significance.
