The moon doesn't "take light from the sun" any more than any other object does.

If the sun shines on a blue house, it'll still look blue to you, not orange.
If the sun shines on a green leaf, it'll still look green to you, not orange.
If the sun shines on the moon... well, you figure it out.

Anyway, the sun's rays aren't any one color, but that's a separate topic. :-)

Sunlight is white to us. Sun rays only look orange when our atmosphere filters out the blue component via scattering. The moon looks white because it reflects broad spectrum sunlight back to us. However, when its low on the horizon, it looks orange because its blue component is now being filtered by the thick slab of atmosphere it flies thru.

sun rays are not orange they appear to be orange due to less dispersion of red lid light
colours merge to form white colour.
