Unusual atmospheric conditions. However, the timing of the question is a little suspicious, so I'm going to answer a question you didn't ask also.
There are about 29.5 days from one full moon to the next. This means that there are a little over 12 full moons in a year, and once in a while there are two full moons in the same month. For some reason I don't fully understand, people call the second full moon in a month a "blue moon". It has nothing to do with the color of the moon, and the moon is no more likely to lookblue on the second full moon in a month than it is at any other full moon.

∙ 12y agoWhen its farther from the horizon it looks smaller because there are less - terrestrial objects to compare its size to. When it is on the horizon, it looks bigger because its closer to objects we can compare its size too. Try holding a dime up at arms length when the moon is at the horizon and then again when its high in the sky - you will see it is definitely always the same size. On a side note the moon moved farther away from the earth at the rate of about 1" per year!

I don't know for gray and yellow but for blue... The moon is only blue every 10 years or something. The reference is called "once in a blue moon" which means it's a really long time. The moon is only blue when there are two full moons in one month. That's 28 days. Blue moons can last up to a week.
What do you mix to make the color of the moon?
Depending on the lighting and luminescence of this celestial body the moon can look creamy ivory or silvery white with a ultramarine blue undertone, a soft, whitish yellow with a luscious orange cream for the main coloring makes an easy companion to blend with the lavander-blue hue that sits on the edge of the moon's shadow side. But the moon doesn't always look like a sliver plate in the sky, sometimes the moon can look bloody red during a lunar eclipse, the moon can be any color really if you go out on a limb. Try any color family, and it will work.

Why do you see a blue moon?
A blue moon can refer to the second full moon in a month or the moon actually being blue. We sometimes see a full moon twice in one month due to the moon's cycle of slightly less than one month.
