Since the sun itself is actually a star I would have to say there are some out there.
Size (Mass) helps determine how long the star will live, also helps in some calculations as to how hot it is.
Using color as a temperature probe gives only a crude measurement of the star's temperature.

Are there stars that are a million times brighter and hotter than the sun?
Does the size of the star determine its brightness and color (white, yellow, red, or blue) where blue is the hottest star?
