The Pink Moon does not actually turn pink but can take on a slightly orange or copper tone when low on the horizon due to atmospheric scattering.
The moon serves as a seasonal marker, coinciding with the arrival of spring and Easter Sunday.

The most favorable moment to enjoy the Pink Moon is just after it appears in the east.
