If the sun is white but appears yellow because of atmospheric scattering, why doesn't the moon also appear yellow?

The moon *does* appear yellow or even red when it's low in the sky (or there are a lot of particulates).  You think of the moon as white or pale yellow because usually when you see it it's high in the sky and therefore tending towards white.  If you looked at the sun at solar noon (don't), it would look a lot whiter than you typically think of it.  That's because the only time it's comfortable to look at or near the sun is when it's lower in the sky and therefore more yellowish/reddish.
