Darkening of lawn

Hi there! New to the forum and to trying to get better at lawn care. Been applying fertilizer by hand sprayer by weekly all season. It got to a good point where I was pretty happy (first pic) it’s been a few weeks since and we have had decent rain but noticing much darker grey areas in lawn. Any ideas? Thanks!

I agree with the above. Make sure the grass is getting 1-1.5" of water each week. Not sure where in Canada you are, but in SW Ontario it's been in the upper 80's consistently with zero rain - except for last night.

Keep up the great work.

Thank you sir!
I’m near Edmonton Alberta we have had a decent amount of rain lately which was why I was a little concerned. I have been playing with 23-9-5 liquid fertilizer and humic acid applications and it seems to be working really well. The only other thing I can think of that I have done different is the cut before this one I did cut while the lawn was pretty wet. Possibly a little stress from that as well?
