It’s his hill to dye on. 

Former Mayor de Blasio — who is no stranger to rocking a new look — cheered on Ben Affleck for stepping into broad daylight last week with a noticeably darker beard and mustache amid his rocky divorce with Jennifer Lopez.  

“Do what you do Ben — just keep experimenting, find what works for you,” de Blasio, told The Post, calling his fellow Massachusetts native “an incredibly vibrant, talented person.”

The 52-year-old Oscar winner was spotted last week in Santa Monica, Calif., with the near-black facial hair in lieu of his usual salt-and-pepper hue, less than two months after Lopez, 55, filed for divorce on the second anniversary of their lavish Georgia wedding. 

De Blasio, 63, dodged sharing whether the “Justice League” star’s decision to darken his whiskers was actually an improvement on his au natural aesthetic, but gently suggested trying a new color is bound to be “imperfect.”

In December, he was seen holding hands in NoHo with literacy company founder Kristy Smart, whose husband of 12 years was dumbfounded by the news of the pair’s public fling.

The ex-mayor was also caught getting cozy with another mystery woman during a candlelit dinner in Lower Manhattan in October 2023 and making out with a third the month before at the Empire Rooftop bar in Columbus Circle. 

Blaz, however, demurred on whether his dye jobs have helped him play the field later on in life. 

“I can’t judge what it means for dating. It’s what I feel comfortable with,” he said. 

Deciding to color his hair, he added, was akin to the Jets’ recent decision to axe Robert Saleh as coach. 

 “It was time to act,” he said.
