> Quote - Bill, if the moon was gray after the yellow light reflected off it (the way I see it) you could argue that the color of the moon is slightly bluish and the resultant light is gray. > > Here's a picture I just took, note it's in the day and higher in the sky so that might skew things.  It looked at the RGB and its a little more blue than anything these.

Illustration on the left: Because we know that the sky adds an ambient blue color to everything, you can simply subtract the light blue sky color from the photo, like i have done in the lower left of your image and it reveals that the moon is, in fact, orange! This is also consistent with a with an image of a movie (A Grand Day Out) that i have found and which was shot on the moon (right illustration). Some might argue that this might be an animation movie, and they could be right, but it should be noted that this movie was from the 80s; they did not have the computer technology back then to make whole virtual planets, so they must have had used the real moon for this.
