Earth's moon is grey and has areas of dark other colors and has many craters. Seen from Earth, it appears colored because of the Earth's atmosphere. When the Moon is rising or setting it often has a reddish or orange color. Storm clouds may color it more blue. Seen during daytime it looks like a small white cloud perhaps crescent shaped.


Does the sun look like any other star on Pluto?

It would be no brighter than some planets as seen from Earth : brighter than the other stars but not much larger. Since Pluto is so far away from the sun (at a average distance of 3,670,050,000 miles), the sun would look much dimmer and smaller that it does from here on Earth. From Pluto, the sun would look like a very bright star and would light up Pluto during the day about as much as the full moon lights up Earth at night.
