Colorful Moon

The Moon seems to be simply white, or orange/red if it is near the horizon. But in fact some colors appear depending the nature of its terrains.
With a digital process to saturate its color, the seas (covered by solid lavas) are mostly blue or orange, and craterised areas are pinkish.
