Red giant stars emit less light per square meter of surface area than smaller, hotter stars, but their larger size means they have a larger surface area from which to emit light, so they emit more light overall.

The large hot stars are typically called "blue-white" stars or also Blue Giants. Cooler large stars are called Red Giants.
Yes red giants are the largest. But the bigger stars of red giants can be called red hyper giants.

To be bright you need to be hot, close or have a large surface area. The brightest coolest stars are red super giants. They have such a large surface area, that even though their surface temperature is cool - in star terms - their large surface area makes them appear bright.
They are red giants.
In the usual position of the axes, the upper-right is populated by giants and supergiants.
