What color is moonlight typically, and what other colors can moonlight look like from our perspective on Earth?

The basics 1. Light. A paint color’s Light Reflective Value (LRV) measures how much light reflects from a color on a scale of 0 to 100. An LRV of 50 or higher will reflect more light than it ...

An object’s color depends on the light it reflects. Because more red light tends to reach the ground in direct sunlight, sunbathed objects reflect more red light than blue.

To quantify how common UV colors are in the natural world, the researchers looked at the light reflected off nearly 1,000 samples of bird plumage and more than 2,000 plants.
