So, I read some article about how our moon isn't as grey and dull as we see it. Apparently due to the immense light reflection from the sun, and the upper atmosphere being densely packed with blue rich nitrogen, the colour we see is a washed out grey, or as the moon filters through our oxygen rich lower atmosphere, a orange hue during moon rise and moon set.
But, there is a way we can see the true colour of the moon. Photography.
By taking 10-20 fast shots which make the moon appear dark, you can then stack them to create a higher dynamic range image.
You then take said image and lower the blue channel (basically removing the nitrogen filtered colour) and bump up the saturation a bit.
The end result..
The Moon, in colour

Words just don't do your photography justice @viridis. You really should photograph as a professional in my view; you have an exceptional eye.
