Despite appearances, the surface of the Moon has color and it is possible to capture it with a color or monochrome camera with filters. Each color is due to the large-scale presence of some type of mineral in the lunar crust, from basalts and iron oxides to titanium.
The color tones are very subtle, but real (it is not synthetic color), so during image processing the color saturation must be increased to make it visible, taking care of luminance as a source of detail and contrast.
