Hi. The moon is actually mostly gray. The light gets some coloration as it passes through the atmosphere. When it is low in the sky the colors can be quite beautiful. Red and orange are pretty common. After I gave this answer, I found this link: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/28sep_strangemoonlight.htm?list189652
It explains quite a bit about Moonlight, and I hope you like it.

From the gases in the atmosphere. It can actually look yellow or even orange if it's low enough in the sky. The gases that make it look yellow? The gases that are emitted from cars every day and that are destroying our rain forests.
