Default What color is the moon?

... 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.

The color of Dutch Edammer cheese.
As if you didn't know.....
