In this video, I introduce an experiment on my lawn to illustrate a point about dark green grass. Most of the time the darkest green lawns are only dark because of a high dose application of liquid chelated iron.
Iron is a nutrient that all grass types need; it is integral to the production of chlorophyll but usually lawns don't need a lot of it unless a soil test shows you are low or unless you are noticing the early signs of chlorosis, yellowing of the leaves.

There is nothing wrong with applying extra iron to a lawn to get it to a darker shade of green and I've even shown in past videos how it could be used to green up the grass even in the middle of winter.

Most liquid iron products will have this effect although most will have different potencies. The iron I used in February to green up my winter grass and in this video was Lawn Star's liquid iron but going forward I'll be using a different product called Green Effect that combines a less potent mix of Iron (6%) with some Nitrogen (7%) and sulfur which will collectively give the grass a more natural boost in sustainable color.

Before you go buying iron though I want to encourage you to focus on the health of your grass system before you start fussing with its color. Potassium is usually an under-applied nutrient to lawns and it is the most important nutrient for plant health.
