Much as I hate that "red faux cedar" dyed bark mulch, it may come in
handy for rejuvenating about 400 sqft of bark mulch I have down. It's
cost prohibitive (and stupidly wasteful) to rake up, dispose of, and
replace 5-8 yards of bark mulch every year or so in front of my house.
But is there some place I can get some of that dye to spray on and
maybe make what I have look a little better? Surely there must be
something I can buy a gallon or three of.....

Lesco sells a product called nu-mulch that dyes it.

Yes, I've seen it available online as well. Not sure how well it
works . Nor am I sure of what colors were available. At the time I
was looking for some green color dye to use to spray lawn patched
areas so it would blend in better while waiting for the grass to come
in. They have that too, but the package size and price didn;'t make
sense for a small job.
