FDA approved food coloring?
Mind that it's going to be some color involving green, which is a secondary color. That doesn't leave much flexibility beyond "ugly".

IIRC methylene blue may be a carcinogen. Using it in large quantities, coloring a lawn does not sound like a smart thing to me.

Wouldnt that kill your lawn, making it hard for the grass to do photosynthesis?
If you dont care, just spray paint your lawn

The do make a blue dye specifically for this purpose.
You can find it in big ag supply stores, its used as an alternative to foam markers so you can see where your spray rig has been.
