What color is the moon?

Zoë asked me tonight as we were lying on bed, "what color is the moon"

I thought for a bit on this.... Thinking about how the images we think about of the moon are the stuff we were fed from the 60's, thinking about rumors of fakery, thinking about how it looks through our atmosphere and it sent me on quite an Internet search... I am still not sure I know the answer, but am very excited by Zoë's question.

I will have to show her what I found tomorrow.
