Yes. The apparent colour of a star is related to the peak wavelength of the light it emits. According to Wien's displacement law (look it up in Wikipedia) the peak wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature. The higher the temperature, the shorter the peak wavelength. Wavelength decreases as one moves from red to blue in the visible spectrum, so a red star is cooler than a blue one.
