Default What color is the moon?

"Paul Ciszek" wrote in message ...
My camera has a choice of "white balance" settings. If I use "Sunlight"
on the assumption that the moon is a sunlight landscape, photos of the
moon come out looking a little brownish. If I use "Auto", the moon
appears nearly colorless. The former coloration is not implausible,
but which is closer to the truth?

Fortunately, I can make this decision retroactively for photos shot
in RAW mode.

Colour is subjective and dependent on surrounding colour, as
this image clearly shows.
