Red stars are the coolest. Blue stars are much hotter than red stars. You may think that blue stars are the coolest because it represents ice, and red stars are the hottest because it represents fire, but that's wrong.

No, Red stars are Class M stars, and are in fact the coolest of the main sequence stars, with a mean temperature under 3,700 degrees Kelvin. Our Sun is a Class G (Yellow) star which have mean temperatures between 5,200 and 6,000 degrees Kelvin. The hottest stars are O class (Blue) stars with mean temperatures between 20,000 and 35,000 degrees Kelvin. In order of descending temperature, the classes are O, B, A, F, G, K, M.
