Our perception of colour does change as we age because our eye lenses yellow.

Yes, I still remember how vibrant blue the sky used to be and how golden the grass in autumn was.

My perception of color is very slightly different in each eye and I never thought to look up why that might be the case, this might explain it

After googling it it's probably just cone cells not having a perfectly uniform distribution, which is a weird and cool thing to think about its effects on perception

Also it's wild how much people's anecdotes lean towards the same "left eye cool right eye warm" layout
