More Moon Question

If the moon is blown you won't get any colour other than white. When you get the exposure issues sorted out you'll see the proper colours emerge.

Start with the Sunny 16 Rule stopped down one or two stops and check your histogram. Getting the moon properly exposed will leave the foreground underexposed. An ND filter would help to expose for the foreground too if that's what you want.
Would I want the type I forget what its called Graduated I think;where you have basically a filter with a line in the middle and its (darker/ lighhter) on one half then then other. Let’s in more or less light

Colors?
If you get anything other than gray it’s either an eclipse, moonrise or moonset. In that case you need a stop or two brighter than Sunny 16.

I would set up on a tripod and shoot two shots, one for the moon and one for the rest. Then put them together with PS.

I suggest shooting in Manual mode. Shoot the background to taste. Then shoot the Moon for whatever level of detail you want. Once you have all the pieces do some HDR (high dynamic range) processing to get the end result you're looking for. Or simply create a composite of the pieces, per attached.
The Moon is a very bright object. You're not going to get its detail and the background in one shot!
