While we often think of stars as being yellow or white, they can actually appear in a wide range of colors, depending on their temperature:

Red: Coolest stars, around 3,500 Kelvin. Examples: Betelgeuse, Antares.

Orange: Slightly hotter than red stars, around 4,000 to 5,000 Kelvin. Examples: Arcturus, Aldebaran.

Yellow: Our Sun is a yellow star, with a surface temperature of about 5,500 Kelvin.

White: Hotter than yellow stars, around 7,500 to 10,000 Kelvin. Examples: Vega, Sirius.

Blue: The hottest stars, above 10,000 Kelvin. Examples: Rigel, Spica.

It's important to note that:

* Color perception is subjective: The colors we perceive can be influenced by atmospheric conditions and our own eyes.

* Stars aren't always "pure" colors: They often emit a range of wavelengths, which can blend together.

* Some stars can appear more "colorful" than others: This is usually due to the presence of specific elements in their atmospheres, which can absorb certain wavelengths of light.

So, while the most common colors are red, orange, yellow, white, and blue, stars can display a variety of hues and shades!
