Wouldn't it make more sense if Arc's hat was white like a candle?

Not all candles are whit though, let's take aromatic candles for example.
Also just white hood would not match with violet robe especially being a part of it. The colours were chosen to represent the type of magic Arc specializes with which is Black Magic in his case.
It's not always the colour or shape that represents what character is about. In Arc's case it is the magic candle he was merged with which makes his life a time bomb, if the flame runs out, Arc will die, also candles does not burn for too long either.
I understand your point of view and it could make sense to make his robe white. But... White usually represents the light or something good and it could definitely match if Arc was a good cleric or a good character overall.
Purple could also represent someone of royal or noble status also power and ambition. And I think the latter two would really suit him too.
Purple is combination of red colour which is warm and blue which is cold making it a mixture; a colour both warm and cold and this is part of Arc's nature: A mischief maker who also helps people who are oppressed. Arc is definitely not typical hero. Anti-hero would be a better term, his aim is to gain enough power to defeat the Great Witch and lift the curse. With that I though purple would suit him better.
And maybe he also smells of lilac? Who knows... I didn't smell him.

Then why not make the flame a darker red or a lighter purple? So that it blends in better?

Ah... There is a reason behind that and for now it is a secret. Don't want to spoil the fun. It might come out in the future.
