The moon appears yellowish when it rises in the evening. The reason behind this is the same for the rising/ setting sun appearing orange; increased scattering of incoming sun/ moonlight by atmospheric dust particles.

When the sun/ moon is near the horizon, the incoming light has to travel an increased distance through the atmosphere, as compared to their position higher up in the sky. Dust particles scatter shorter light wavelengths (blue end) to a much greater extent than the longer ones (red end). The exact dependence is given by Rayleigh's scattering theory and is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength.
This means that as the incoming sun/moon-light from the horizon is continuously stripped of its blue component (due to the larger distance of atmospheric dust it has to travel) and contains only the yellow, orange and red colours when it reaches your eyes. Hence the sun/ moon appears yellow-orangeish.
