No. K spectral type stars (which are orange) temperature is ranging from 5,000-3,500. A spectral type stars (which are blue-white) temperature is ranging from 7,500-11,000.
Alpha Arietis (Hamal or El Nath), is the brightest star in the constellation Aries.It has a spectral type of K so will have a colour of orange.
The seven fundamental stellar spectral types are O, B, A, F, G, K and M. Also, what are their relationships to the stellar temperatures?
Eltanin is an orange giant of spectral type K5
Spectral class is the categorization of stars by temperature and size, mostly the former. Spectral class B is very hot. In descending order (hottest to coolest) the spectral classes are O,B,A,F,G,K,M. You can see that B is very near the top.
There are stars with spectral classes of O & B (e.g. Rigel) R136a1 is a star of the spectral class WN5h. Wolf Rayet stars have this kind of spectral type.
K (orange )
A blue giant has a spectral type of O or B. It will therefore have a temperature greater than 10,000 K
Spectral Type O.
Spectral type M Stars
Alpha Arietis (Hamal or El Nath), is the brightest star in the constellation Aries.It has a spectral type of K so will have a colour of orange.

61 Cygni is a binary star system in the constellation Cygnus.Both stars have a spectral type of K, which means there temperature is around4,500 K. This is cool for a star.See related question for the hottest star.

The spectral type of a star is what measures its chemical composition. The visible light that bounces off of it can be used to determine the composition.
Sirius B is a white dwarf and has a spectral type of DA2. As it is a white dwarf, it is cooling all the time. It's current temperature is about 25,200 K
