No. Only the most massive main sequence stars are blue. Because blue stars are short-lived compared to other stars they are almost invariably young. Less massive stars live much longer, so only a fairly small portion of them are so young. For example a star like our sun can be expected to remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years, if the rate of formation of such stars is constant then you can expect 1 in every 1,000 such stars to be in their first 10 million years on the main sequence.
