Its probably just the moss turning black after the treatment. If a heavy dose is applied it can turn the grass tips a greyish black colour buts its unlikely to have done any major damage. Scarify the lawn to remove the dead moss, the grass tips that are off colour will be removed during the first couple of cuts and the lawn should look ok afterwards.
