lunar glow
Pale night shine
Lunar glow is the soft, diffuse light cast by the moon, especially when partially obscured by clouds or atmosphere.
It describes both the illumination itself and the halo effect around the moon: The lunar glow lit the path through the woods.
The phrase emphasizes gentle ambiance rather than direct moonlight.
