According to the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the two groups most likely to contain stars with the lowest temperatures are:

  1. Giants
  2. Supergiants

In the H-R diagram, both of these groups occupy regions toward the right side, where cooler temperatures are found. The main sequence stars typically have higher temperatures and the white dwarfs are found in the lower left region, which generally corresponds to higher temperatures compared to giants and supergiants.
