Dissatisfied with your brown lawn? Paint it green!

Just read about this new (?) product:
"Vegetal Color, paint for grass. Give your plants a color cure. Grass paint."
French-based firm, but the blurb is available in English (and other languages) at https://edencolor.com/en/
Please note that this is not a commercial span, I am in no ways endorsing or recommending this product; just curious to find out if anyone has actually tried it (or a similar one).

    I could do with that paint right now Papi Jo, I have a sea of dried hay. I suspect a magic wand would work better though, have you got a link to one of those?!

    We were staying somewhere, I can't remember where but  there was a horse or it might have been the rude man carved into a hillside. The grass edging it had been painted green. Not obvious without binoculars but a bit of a cheat

    Our grass is all brown, except where it's clover or some other wildflower.  It'll green up again when/if we get some rain.

    I just accept that that's what grass does in the summer. As you say, @Obelixx there's always plenty of interest in a wildflower lawn when the grass goes brown for a while.

    Or try the other obvious solution - green sunglasses...

    Proud to be brown!

    In keeping with the ecological, save the Planet, fight the climate change, save the water, etc. trend, papi Jo's lawn is currently proud to be un-watered and brown.
    Please ignore the greenish patches alongside the mixed borders, due to the watering of said borders. And please ignore the freshly-mown aspect. :(

    My grass in the front garden looks very similar, give or take a few greener patches where there's clearly a different type of grass. The lawn at the back gets more shade and has more green left.

    The only bits that are green are those in the shade (I.e. where my dog is sitting).

    Some of it is almost like another flower bed, the grass is so sparse..

    Strange how the weeds manage to stay green. Perhaps we need to rethink the lawn!

    Maybe that's why my lawn is mostly green!
