The colors of stars can be ordered based on their temperatures, which correspond to their energy output. The order from highest energy (hottest) to lowest energy (coolest) is as follows:

  1. Blue
  2. Blue-white
  3. White
  4. Yellow-white
  5. Yellow
  6. Orange
  7. Red

This sequence reflects the typical temperature range of stars, where blue stars are the hottest and red stars are the coolest.
