Maybe. Some waxes are a little yellow to
start with, and I've never used wax on a
pure-white surface to have good baseline
for comparison, either. My guess is that
it probably will, at least a little though
probably not a huge change, but that's
only a guess. Some so-called 'sculpture
waxes' claim to be more archival in some
unspecified way, but I haven't compared.
