    The moon does not change color. The atmosphere does, though.

    I’m going to take a swing at the moon reflects a relatively uniform spectrum of light from the sun but our varied atmospheric conditions can alter the refraction of that light.

      The exception being when it is occluded by earth during a lunar eclipse and instead reflects spectrum of light that got by our atmosphere.

    It’s like morse code but using colours. A message from God that no one has yet to decipher. /s
