Same night, same full moon, minutes apart I ended up with 4 different color shots. White/gray, brown/gold, lavender haze, light blue. Each shot unique, clear and sharp enough to print.
I was using Auto ISO and Auto White Balance, spot focus in a Nikon D850, Nikkor 200-500 VR hand held. Of the 4 I loved the brown and gold best because the definition was high.

Lovely! This is one of the many reasons why I shoot RAW. So easy to adjust color balance in PP.

The ISO is not the same.
Your auto exposure used 400 on the first and 450 on the second.
And white balance is auto, to answer kcooke.

These shots of the harvest moon were taken within 2 seconds of one another a few nights ago. The one with the orange hue is how the moon really looked. Why does the second shot not have the orange hue? I looked at the data- aperture, shutter, ISO, and metering are all the same.
As the moon rises you see it through less atmosphere and the color changes due to this. It becomes brighter as it rises due to same reason so white balance will change slightly

Was only 4 minutes apart.moon moves 15 degrees an hour ago so minimum difference in atmosphere

Like others have said, most likely WB. Hopefully you shoot in Raw meaning you should be able to correct in post. Not for nothing but your photos are blurry. How did you focus & with what lens?

I know they’re blurry. Hand held at 400 mm. My objective that night was to capture the color of the moon.
