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.
With the daytime temps in the 70’s and 80’s, it will not take long for the grass to start growing and greening up. I can see new growth in my brown St. Augustine grass. I am in the keep watering once a week camp.
