Is that 7% figure right? That seems awfully dark. If you held a 7% reflective piece of paper in your hand in normal room light you would probably label it as black or very dark.

That figure is from the quoted section of my post, not my own text.

I've seen that similar statements, myself, though, that the moon is composed of rather dark material despite its appearing ice-blue-white or golden yellow to us at various times. I don't quite see how that can be, as dark looks dark even in bright sunlight.
