Are there dwarf stars other than red and white like maybe blue?

Are white dwarf stars young?
No. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star.
Are white dwarf stars always white?
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
Why is a star white?
stars are not always white there are many different types of star for example: Black Dwarf Red Giant White Dwarf Blue Giant Neutron they are all varying colors because of the configurations of gas and energy of particals. however 97% of our galaxy's stars are the fabled white dwarf these are white because they are expelling there entire energy at once, the white dwarf is the final stage of a stars life, aside from the purely theoretical black dwarf
How do you explain what the differences are between main sequence stars white dwarf stars and supergiant stars?
A star on "main sequence" is a period in a stars evolution.A white dwarf is a stellar remainA supergiant star is the size of a very big star.So they are completely different and not even related.

The term "white dwarf" was coined by astronomer Willem Luyten in the 1920s to describe the fainter, cooler remnants of Sun-like stars. The word "white" refers to its color, which appears white due to its low surface temperature, while "dwarf" denotes its small size compared to other types of stars.
Is white dwarf a star?
Many stars are white dwarfs.

White Dwarf is one of the final stages in?
A stars evolution. Our Sun will go yellow dwarf -> red giant -> white dwarf -> black dwarf.

Is betelgeuse hotter than a white dwarf?
No, the surface temperature of Betelgeuse is colder than the temperature of a white dwarf, the white dwarf is the hot core of a dead star. Also, red stars are always colder than white stars.
