Have you ever noticed this effect with grass?

Hey hey hey, what are you some kind of 2bit comedian?!

It's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the Op's name and mention of grass and GMG ¬_¬
 
It's something to do with the angles of the sunlight hitting the grass, that's how lawn striping works. When the grass is bending away from you it looks lighter, but when it's bent towards you it looks darker. But how does this apply to non-striped lawns looking different from different directions?

And what about this? If you look at a striped lawn in the morning, and then again in the evening, do the stripes reverse??

Probably to do with a greater concentration of chlorophyll cells on the upper surface, which the plant will naturally angle towards light rays. Darker green on the top, lighter green on the bottom.

I think it's a blend of chewings fescue and creeping red fescue.
It looks too long for bent grass and no rye grass.

I go for the bowling green look myself.
