Hey there !
The light from the Sun looks yellow because our star emits mostly radiations corresponding to that color [1]. But the sun emits all radiations of the visible spectrum, and even beyond (UV and IR).
The light coming from the Moon is reflected by the dust and rocks at the surface of our satellite. The minerals at the surface absorb certain radiations and reflect others, the same way tree leaves absorb red and blue, but reflect green. Overall, the combined radiations reflected by the Moon should yield grey, but on sunny days here on Earth, it may just appear white to us. During the night the high contrast between the bright moon and the night's dark skies make the Moon look white.
Hope it helps you !
