I seem to recall that the green is actually an emission line from Sodium. This may be more muted in a reflection than in an emission.
That thought occured to me also, but I dismissed it because of the reported green flashes of Venus, which is also a reflection. That leaves intensity. The (fully illuminated) lunar surface is much dimmer than that of Venus, per unit area. What do you think? Could contrast be playing a part here?
