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 sky color of the moon is black?

many people think that the sky is blue because of the reflection of the earth. that is wrong. the sky is blue because of the gases produced in the sky. my point is, the sun goes down at night, and without light there can be no color. the only color that can be produced without light is black. there you have it. :)
