It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`)

If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth.

For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
