No, It doesn't. The way we see it can change though. As light passes through the atmosphere, it can be bent by the water molecules in the air and make the light from the moon appear yellow, red, orange or blue.

The moon normally stays white/yellow colour due to the sun's reflection but when the earth goes in front of the moon, it changes colour to a red colour, but we cant see it because the sun cant get light to it, so the light can be reflected.

The reason for the moon appearing different colors is our atmosphere scattering (or filtering out) light rays. When the moon is near the horizon, it's light rays have to go through much more atmosphere than if it were dirrectly overhead.

the amount of light rays from the sun to the moon

All moons are not the same color. For example, the Earth's moon appears grey while Saturn's moons Iapetus and Phoebe have a reddish appearance.
