What does the color of a star depend on

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-01-13] [Hit: ]
blue stars are hot, and the sun is yellow.-Its mostly temperature, but chemical composition has an effect as well.......
This question was on my semester final and I'm not sure what the answer is. I know it is either temperature or chemical composition. I put down temperature but I talked to alot of people who told me they said it depended on chemical composition

-
It's temperature... The chemical composition will affect the absorption spectrum, but color depends on temperature, and temperature depends on size.

-
There is an obvious correlation between a star's color and its temperature.
As for chemical composition, it is much less obvious.

-
The color of a star determines the temperature. Cool stars are red, blue stars are hot, and the sun is yellow.

-
It's mostly temperature, but chemical composition has an effect as well.
