I don't think so. Just like the green flash over the ocean, you are seeing light refracting through the atmosphere...kind of like a prism effect. All the different colors represent is the particular wavelength of light.
The green *has* to be there, for the leaves, otherwise it wouldn’t look like a strawberry. Duh!
The moon illusion is a psychological effect, not an actual change in the apparent size of the moon. Refraction, atmospheric reddening and extinction cause the various effects of the moon’s ragged edge, squashed shape, and color as it rises and sets, but the moon illusion is the false perception that the moon is significantly larger when near the horizon than high overhead. The latter is entirely in your head; you can “break” the illusion by covering the moon with a finger at arm’s length. Repeat this test when the moon is crossing the meridian later in the evening. You’ll see it’s still about the same size.
If anything, the moon’s apparent size is slightly smaller on average while near the horizon due to differential atmospheric refraction at the higher limb than the lower giving it the “squashed” appearance.
I agree that the description for this one is poorly written though, it’s well understood what causes the moon illusion, even if there may be competing theories as to why it happens within the mind (though even that isn’t really too controversial I think).
