The colour of the star is an indication of its temperature. The glowing is caused by something called Black-Body radiation, which has to do with the heat energy trying to radiate away in more and more energetic wavelengths. Red stars are relatively cool at only a few thousand degrees Celsius, white stars are hot at about ten thousand degrees, and blue stars are the hottest.
