Of course, I tend to avoid looking at the Sun, unless it's very close to the horizon. ;) FWIW, even Venus looks reddish if it's close enough to the horizon; I once mistook it for Mars for a few moments before I decided that it was far too bright. | |

| Apr 21, 2018 at 16:12 | comment | added | StephenG - Help Ukraine | Part of the problem with this question is that different people will perceive the Moon's color differently. To me it does look yellow more often than not, to others it may not. Color perception is more complex than simple physics. | |
