I thought it would be more red than that - it's almost totally white

before the white bit happened, when the eclipse was 'total', you could see the rest of it more clearly, it was more dark orange than anything, now the sun is starting to reflect off the moon again, that colour is suppressed, I can still see the whole disc, though. I reckon you may have more 'light pollution', where you are, Russ?

Probably 50/50 light / dark now, looks like Ramrod's avatar
