I have always read that if Jupiter had been of sufficient size it may have formed a small dwarf star. I understand star forming dynamics and the star is determined by its mass. It is not like a stars say, " get out of here all you not hydrogen and helium molecules." there still has to be residual larger elements within the star. I imagine most would be in a plasma state because of the intense heat and energy. Some molecules when given enough time and pressure crystalize like carbon becoming a diamond. Would these heavier elements become compacted in the center of a star? If so, I guess you could change the color of the star by adding enough mass. (It would need alot though)
