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.

TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in
bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither."
