    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.
