Colours of stars

Emirates airlines has a forward looking camera so that passengers can watch the take-off. Last night, on rotation, the forward camera gave a great scope of the night sky. I was interested to see that the stars were of different colours on the screen. I am wondering if this is due to the different magnitudes of stars.
Anyone of a scientific bent who would try to explain this phenomenon? Thanks for any info.
