Moonlight bright enough to see by

Is it possible for an Earth-like planet to exist where the light reflected by the moon is, not as powerful, but close in intensity to daylight?

And if so, what would be necessary for it? A moon much closer to the planet? Different chemical composition? Different moon cycle? Multiple moons??

What would be the effect of these on the projected moonlight? Would its spectrum shift towards blue or towards red?

Hesitant to tag this as hard-science as I'm not necessarily looking for exact equations for light propagation, etc...
