Hmm, I notice it every time I see the moon in daylight... the lunar seas appear
more sky-coloured than the brighter areas, as do crater shadows if looking
through a telescope.

Or do you mean that even the brightly-lit areas are sky-coloured? You might need
to crank up your moon's diffuse value to ensure a decent white colour if that's
the case.
