The only time the moon is yellow is when it's close to the earth's horizon. The reason the moon looks yellow is because the light from the moon passes through the haze and smog in the earth's atmosphere. As the moon rises in the sky, it passes through less haze and regains it's greyish color. The true unfiltered color of the moon is grey.
Photographers determine the coloer of the moon in their photographs by the variying exposure they use. A short exposure adds color to photographs. A longer exposure "washes out" colors and makes them appear whiter, or in the case of the moon, grey.
