The moon reflects light from the sun, so it can take on many different colors. White, gray, and yellow are common.

The rest of the moon isn't gone - you just can't see it because the light isn't reflecting off it. Color this sliver of the moon - silver, gray, or yellow, the choice is yours.

Asteroid Coloring Sheet

Rocky asteroids are usually brown or gray, just like rocks here on Earth. If they're icy, they can appear white. If they have a lot of iron in them, they become rusty red.

Venus Coloring Sheet

Venus's surface is made of gray rock, but it looks orange. Why? Its atmosphere has a lot of sulfur, which reflects yellow and orange light.

Mars Coloring Sheet

Mars is called the Red Planet because its surface is a rusty red. It really is rusty - its soil contains a lot of iron, which rusts over time.
