Which three colors?

Question

When a typical child draws a daytime, outdoor scene, she generally will draw the sun in yellow, the sky in blue, and the ground in either green or brown, depending on whether she is drawing grass or dirt. If she were on the moon today instead, what colors would she need to do the equivalent daytime moonscape, also depicting the sun, the sky and the ground ?

Interesting question:
sun- would still be orange.
sky would be black, due to lack of armosphere
Ground - sorry don't know. Looking at pictures, the moon is sometimes orange, sometimes white with black, or dark blue circles, or a light blue.
