Why Do We See Different Colors on the Moon?

Imagine you have a ball that changes how bright it looks depending on where the light hits it from. The moon is like that ball, and Earth is like the light source. When we see the moon at different times of the month, we're seeing different parts of it lit up, some look gray, some look yellow or red, and sometimes even orange! It all depends on how the sunlight bounces off the moon and reaches our eyes.
