A colored moon is the result of stuff in the air -- pollution, generally. (Sometimes dust, smoke, or ash, but usually just air pollution) It's the same thing that produces really bright sunsets, too.
As far as it seeming larger... it does normally seem larger when near the horizon, where there's something nearby for contrast. It may also just be that last night was particularly clear and haze-less.
