Hi,
For waxing your plug or mold, pure carnauba wax will work. You can find it at any car shop.
I used Mothers pure carnauba wax "step3", and, even if it is not specified that it "will work for composite guys", it does.
I'm not sure about coloring pva, but if i had to try, i would get my hands on food colors (which are transparent and readily available) and have a try on a scrap part.
Hope it helps.

Use any water based ink to add colour to PVA.
