It's been a while since I've tried - best recollection (this was years ago
during my 35mm phase) I was matrix metering and my over expose bracketed
shot was best.  Not sure where on my Zone scale it should be.

Get that figured out, how about a "Moonbow"??  There are two places in the
world where the full Moon's light aligns perfectly with the right mist from
a waterfall to create a Moonbow.  The one I saw in Kentucky was in shades of
gray.  It was fantastic but not a subject for large format photography
because of the speed and wide lens opening required.  35mm, fast lens, I
think most with 400 speed film were shooting in the 1 to 10 minute range.
......mist can be a problem on most night also, so this is not a large
format subject.

Though my view was in B&W - I'm told that during very cold Winter Full Moons
the bow is in beautiful colors because of the ice crystals.

A search for simply Moonbow should give you info.  It is the Columbia river
falls in Southern Kentucky just above the Great South Fork national park
that straddles the Ky TN border approximately mid-TN.

Although the same phenomena occurs occasionally at other falls the only
other place it happens with this surety is Victoria Falls in Africa.
