All of the others are wrong. The Lunar surface is mostly Aluminum Silicate. It has a color and consistency almost identical to Portland cement. Go and buy some at Home Depot and you will see what I mean. You can even mix Moon regolith with water and it will set up just like concrete! The maria basins have the mineral ilmenite mixed in, which is Iron-Titanium silicate, and it is darker in color.

The surface of the moon is mostly comprised of Aluminum Oxide. That gives it it's highly reflective surface when the moon is full, and pretty much is nearly white. To say it's grey is not entirely accurate.This Aluminum Oxide is the basis for the plan to use the moon as a fuel station for launching rockets from the moon.
Yet, there is another color, that of Orange. A powdery substance believed to be the result of ancient volcanic activity. It is the oldest stuff known on the moon.
