"TESS will observe a large number of M dwarfs for several reasons. Planets are easier to detect around these small stars (the planets induce larger transit signals). Most nearby stars are M dwarfs. Because M dwarfs are cool and red, the TESS bandpass will be more sensitive to red wavelengths. The TESS detector bandpass spans from 600 - 1000 nm and is centered on the traditional Cousins I-band (I_C, central wavelength = 786.5 nm)."
That any of what TESS sees are really stars can not be proven, and the whole colour-temperature thing is a joke. Most likely these objects are planetary bodies and any planets they think they see are moons orbiting those planets, which is why so many of the planets they think they see orbit in such short periods, hours in some cases.
