That is short for Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. It is a diagram in which the brightness of stars is plotted against their surface temperature (which can be deduced from their color). It turns out that most stars (basically, the ones that get their energy from fusion of hydrogen to helium) are on, or close to, one particular curve in the diagram - the so-called "main sequence".
