Massive stars can appear in a range of colors depending on their surface temperature. They can range from blue (hottest) to white, yellow, orange, and red (coolest). The color of a massive star can provide clues about its temperature and stage of life.
Red
A massive collapsed star is a dead star.
Generally, yes. For stars on the main sequence, meaning that they fuse hydrogen at their cores, mass, size, color, brightness, and temperature are all closely related. More massive stars are larger, brighter and hotter than less massive ones. The least massive stars are red. As you go to more massive stars color changes to orange, then yellow, then white, and finally to blue for the most massive stars.
The red color of Betelgeuse indicates that it is a cooler star, emitting light at longer wavelengths in the red spectrum. This color indicates that Betelgeuse is a massive, aging star that is nearing the end of its life cycle.
The most massive main sequence stars are typically blue in color, due to their high surface temperatures. These stars are known as O-type stars and can be tens of times more massive than the Sun.
its a blue color
It varies, depending on the stage of the star's development.
Red
The temperature affects the color of a star.
its not a massive or a dwarf star
A massive collapsed star is a dead star.
The most massive type of main sequence star on the HR diagram would be indicated by the main sequence area at the top left of the HR diagram, which would be blue or violet in color. Zeta Puppis is an example of such a star. It comes in at 40 solar masses. It is classified as a type "O" star.

Supergiant star.
Generally, the more massive a star is, the more luminous they are. The most luminous stars appear blue.
