yellow stars are about 5000-6000 K

their temperature gets lower! hot stars--- blue or white average stars--yellow or orange cooler stars: reddish
All stars are hot. Their temperature can be determined by their color. The "coolest" stars are red in color. As temperature increases stars will go through orange, yellow, white, and finally blue for the hottest stars.
they can range from red for the least hot stars, through orange, yellow and eventually to white and blue for the hottest stars.
blue stars are the hottest, although red, orange and yellow stars are pretty hot too.
The color of any start is a direct result of the stars internal temperature. The hottest stars are bluish-white, very hot stars are white, the yellow stars, like out sun, not quite as hot, and finally red stars, which while still very hot, are the coolest of the stellar types. It is analogous to heating a steel bar in a forge, First it will get red hot, then yellow, and so on until it reaches white or bluish-white in heat.
The sun is a G class star and (from space) its pale yellow.
The seven types of main sequence stars in the universe are O (blue and hot), B (white-blue and hot), A (white and hot), F (yellow-white and medium), G (yellow and medium), K (orange and cool), and M (red and cool).
Hot stars are usually white or blue, while cooler stars are either yellow or red.
As stars go, it is the coolest of the types - it is analogous to heating metal in a blast furnace. First it is red hot, them more yellow than red, then white hot, and finally blue-white hot. It is the same with stars.

Our sun is a yellow star. All stars with a G class rating are yellow stars.
