The hotter something is, the more light it emits per square metre of its surface, and the bluer it glows. So for an orange star to be as bright as a blue one, the orange star needs to be much bigger.
(Specifically, I'd probably point to either Betelgeus or Antares. They're roughly opposite in the sky so chances are I can see one or the other. There are some bigger stars visible to the naked eye from a dark site, but not in my urban back garden.)
