Viewed from Earth the moon appears black during a solar eclipse because we are looking at the dark side of the moon where no sunlight is falling. The sunlight falls on the side of the moon facing the sun. Unless we can see that illuminated side of the moon it will appear dark to us,

If the object appears black or dark gray, then it reflects small amounts of all colors of the spectrum.
