If stars are blues and reds how come they look white?
The human eye has two different types of cell: cones for seeing color, and rods of seeing in low light. Since most stars do not provide us much light, we mostly see them with the rod cells in our eyes, which cannot detect color. It is possible to see the color of some stars, such as the red giant Betelgeuse.
