Do they ever look lighter than the floor? If yes, at what Moon phase?

Do they ever look darker?

I've seen them lighter than the floor at waxing gibbous.

Thanks!

I tried to look for them yesterday with ST80, I think I glimpsed something that at least had darker parts at the centre of the floor. Earlier I saw a bright dot at the same location at full Moon.

Clyde, how many and how good do you see with TV85? What power do you use?
