Not at first, all thought the potential for using CCDs for long term exposures was realized quickly. A exposure of 45 minutes for a film camera was dropped drastically to something like 10 minutes with a CCD device.
The problem at first was the thermal noise (heat) that would be induced in the chip's information during long term exposure. Some of the first home made CCD cameras for astrophotography amateurs used huge homemade lathed metal coolers.
However, as with all electronics, as time went by, the technology got better.
Here's a link to read more about it:

I think my idea of white may be your idea of gray.
Sort of a dark white maybe?
In any case the Moon is pretty much colorless (with some exceptions). Unless it is rendered in false color as it is in Escamilla's video or otherwise manipulated.
Good thread about it here:

There are some rather large posts in this thread so I'll take the lazy route and simply reply with my two cents, without checking if anyone else has pointed this out....
Even though there are pale shades of brown and blue...for the most part, the moon is a dull, gray, rocky color. This can be verified.
When you view celestial objects from earth, you should note that:
• Earth has an atmosphere.
• Earth's atmosphere is composed of gasses and particles which have an effect on how light reaches us and how it filters that light.
• The moon's surface varies in texture, topography and as most of you know, is riddled with craters varying in depth.
• Because of the topography, texture and geology of the moon....light from the sun is reflected differently at different times of the day under different atmospheric conditions here on earth.
Knowing that, you realize that anyone claiming that there's a cover-up about the color of the moon without first taking into account the aforementioned points, is not only a tool...but should be written off as a complete moron.

Honestly, I though we'd have bases up there and would be living on the moon by now. I'm still living with the disappointment that we haven't even got that far yet.

Oh well the moon is where the greys live, an its also hollow,. some might say its like a death star ha but yeah def live on the inside, ive talked to the different dimensions ..
Calling a site bogus just because.. we'll, that's just as stupid, I would think. Id like to think that people are generaly smart enough to dig up their own facts.

I am convinced there are structures on the moon. I don't know if earth-based powers or aliens built them, but I am convinced they do exist.

Those UFO digest Streetcap Zooms are all the evidence anyone should ever need to be convinced there are structures on the moon...can't dispute those.

Why is everyone arguing about the colour of the moon in this thread? Obviously they are lazy and didn't watch the video in full because there appears to be substantial evidence of stuctures on the moon, my jaw dropped when I seen the statue which is estimated at 6.25 miles high but in particular the structure before it which clearly had the number 2 visible on it.
This is why I love ATS because I would never had heard of this otherwise. Thank you for bringing this to my attention op
