Why is the color of the sky black from the moon during the day?

The answer is that the Moon has no atmosphere. So, sunlight is not "scattered" as it is by the Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light more than other colors causing our sky to be blue.
So, the Moon has a black sky during its daytime and the Earth has a blue sky. You can see the black sky in photographs taken during the Apollo Moon landings.
There's another answer below, but it's about the Earth's sky.
When asked the color of the Earth's night sky, it is tempting to say, "black, of course"! However, that is not really correct. It looks black to us because there is not enough light to stimulate the color-sensitive cones in our eyes, even though there is light in the nighttime sky, and it has color. Away from city lights or other interfering light sources, the night sky, illuminated by moonlight is blue, similar to the sunlit daytime sky. At night we see through the atmosphere and out into space.

Why can you see clouds at night?
When the sun gives off light, the light is reflected off the surface of the planets and the moon, the color of the planet depends on which colors it absorbs and gives off, like the moon absorbs all colors except that greyish color, the grayish color is reflected back into space and when the light gets to earth, we see the color, and see the moon. This is the same for all planets and such. We can see planets during the day, they don't just disapear, but they are faint against the luminosity of the sun
