What colors are moon cakes?

Moon cakes come in a variety of colors, but the most common are:

* Golden brown: This is the classic color of moon cakes, achieved by baking the pastry in an oven.

* White: Some moon cakes, especially those with a lotus seed paste filling, may have a white or off-white color.

* Red: Red is often used for decorative purposes, such as adding red bean paste or red food coloring to the dough.

* Green: Green tea flavoring is sometimes added to moon cakes, giving them a greenish hue.

* Purple: Purple sweet potato filling can create a vibrant purple color in moon cakes.

* Other colors: Moon cakes can be decorated with various edible colors, depending on the region and the specific recipe.

It's important to remember that the color of a moon cake doesn't necessarily reflect its flavor. While some colors are associated with specific ingredients, the taste can vary greatly depending on the filling and recipe.
