If you notice the dark pattern, the mower was moving toward you. If the pattern is light, the mower was moving away from you. When the mower moves toward you, the grass gets pushed down and you are looking into the blades more.When they do those intricate patterns, they have to use some green paint and a form.

Gordonmorrison has given you the most correct answer so far. The direction of mowing is the main reason for the different patterns. Groundskeepers take great pride in the appearance of their fields and have learned the techniques to create even the most intricate patterns. Golf courses are kept up in the same manner.What makes the patterns so easy to see is the fact that they are using rotary blades instead of standard single blade mowers. The rotary blades push the grass in the direction of the cut more than the standard blades. They also use different sized blades to make the intricate patterns. No self respecting groundskeeper would ever use paint, unless they have to put a colored logo on the field somewhere, such as the all-star logo or the world series logo.
You may have seen where the New York Mets have their logo on the field behind the pitchers mound. That is done using a pattern and the grass is slightly taller and raked to stand up straight as opposed to laying down one direction or the other, thus making it appear to be a darker color.
