Is that... true? Sunlight is seen as yellow, of course, but the moon is usually thought of as white.

That's fair, I was thinking of how night, or twilight, as a whole is associated with cool hues, but it's probably true that moonlight in itself is usually thought of as neutral white.
Sunlight is yellowish in atmosphere since some blue's been scattered by the atmosphere[1], but it's white in space.
