Why is my new lawn turning yellow after seeding in March in New Zealand?

Seed planted 19 March and showing quite yellow. Nothing has been sprayed on lawn yet, just seed. Any suggestions?

    Desperate for a feed, new lawns need nutrients. Get a granular application down. Do you have any of the NZLA liquids? Liquid boost will darken it up.

    Did you use starter fertiliser at the time of seeding? Needs a feed regardless.
