Painted green-truth is you can purchase the same green paint. The proper product, does not harm the grass. I've never used it BUT, an opportunity to win the my grass is greener than your grass battle.
MY OPINION- your plantings Trees, Shrubs after one year are not fully rooted in. While they are dormant, they are really semi dormant it has been running 70 at midday and we have had very little rain. Probably a good idea to water once a week.
The sad my grass can take your grass. People in the Villages have either Empire Zoysia or St Augustine. Each has plusses and minuses. Procedures, neither can read.
Be sure to read instructions on any product before you put it down. Weed killers, there are products that will kill or severely damage your lawn

I should have given more information. While I have only owned for a year, I bought a pre-owned house, built in 2006, so the grass and the plantings are mature.
I don't care that it's not green, and I wouldn't go to the trouble to paint it.
I don't want to waste water (and $) if it provides no benefit for the dormant grass, but I don't want to sabotage my lawn to save a few bucks either.
