Fertilizer with high nitrogen and iron.
Most lawn fertilizers (Scott’s) use 2% Iron. I use Iron for all my plants and trees. Along with grass. Iron (Chelated Iron) is a mineral, needed for most soils.

Well I fertilized twice this year in March after a very low cut and again in the Beginning of May. I am just two years in after having the entire yard scraped, dirt brought in then leveled, and then I broadcasted seed. The yard looks good as I have tons of bermuda. Weeds are under control with regular use of MSMA and 2-4-D. But getting a deep dark green has alluded me. I am always trying to time spreading fertilizer with the rain. Not trying to water 3/4 of an acre.

99.8% of iron in granular fertilizer is in the form of iron oxide and will not be available to the plant while we are still alive. It’s snake oil.
Chelated Iron in liquid form is a different animal. It’s the only way to really apply iron to your turf.
