At younger age there is plenty of fuel in stars the emit enormous energy hence less wavelength or more frequency waves are emitted. This is the reason why younger stars look bluish and old stars look reddish in colour.

According to the, doppler effect in light as we go farther than the source. Wavelength of the object decreases with respect to the source. Hence, as stars go farther from us, they appears to be red in colour.
