Moonlight colour temperature

[AstralTraveller]

I've taken a couple of landscapes by moonlight that I quite like. Since moonlight is reflected sunlight I set the camera's white balance to 'daylight' but I suppose the colour temperature is actually a bit different. They are RAWs so I can correct this. Deos anyone know offhand what the correct colour temperature is?

As it is unmodified solar reflections it should still be around the 5800K mark.

But is it truly unmodified? If you bounce white light off a coloured surface it is no longer white. The moon may look to be shades of gray but it is subtly coloured so I think it should alter the colour temperature slightly. I agree that the daylight white balance would be very close but I am trying to be a pedant. :rolleyes:
