As an expert in astronomy, I can tell you that stars are not typically described by their color in the way we perceive colors on Earth. However, the color of a star can be an indicator of its temperature. The hottest stars appear blue, while the cooler ones can appear red. There are no stars that are truly "green" in the sense that we think of the color green on Earth, but there are stars that might appear to have a greenish tint when observed through a telescope, especially if they are in the process of changing from a red giant to a white dwarf. This greenish color is not due to the star itself but is a result of the way our eyes and telescopes interpret the light spectrum.

Changing the star's temperature will make it look orange, or yellow, or red, or blue, but you just can't get green. Our eyes simply won't see it that way. That's why there are no green stars. The colors emitted by stars together with how our eyes see those colors pretty much guarantees it.
