I cannot figure out why the moon would be a dull gray color.

It is reflecting direct sun light.

Shouldn't it be at least as bright as the Earth?

Article about a camera

World’s Largest Digital Camera Snaps First 3,200-Megapixel Images – Will Explore Cosmic Mysteries
https://scitechdaily.com/worlds-largest-digital-camera-snaps-first-3200-megapixel-images-will-explore-cosmic-mysteries/

FTA:.... their resolution is so high that you could see a golf ball from about 15 miles away.
-snip-
The focal plane has some truly extraordinary properties. Not only does it contain a whopping 3.2 billion pixels, but its pixels are also very small – about 10 microns wide – and the focal plane itself is extremely flat, varying by no more than a tenth of the width of a human hair. This allows the camera to produce sharp images in very high resolution.

At more than 2 feet wide, the focal plane is enormous compared to the 1.4-inch-wide imaging sensor of a full-frame consumer camera and large enough to capture a portion of the sky about the size of 40 full moons.

I bet our spy satellites see even better.
