How might stars of one color be more abundant than stars of another color?

The color that we perceive from a star, along with its brightness and age help astronomers classify stars in order to identify the different kinds of stars.

Explanation:

The temperature on the surface of a star determines how much visible light it will cast and the color we perceive it to be. Astronomers have determined that the hottest type of stars look blue or white, and the coolest type appear red. The hottest stars have shorter lives, as they consume their fuel relatively quickly, whereas the expected lives of cool, red stars is longer than the current age of the universe. For this reason, red looking stars are more abundant than other stars colors.
