Well, my sense of this is that a yellowing of the lens would be compensated by the human visual system's ability to adapt to the perceived white point, effectively neutralizing the yellow cast of the lens itself.
Besides, when the lens darkens, unless it darkens a whole lot, I would also think that the decrease in transmitted light would be compensated for by a corresponding dilation of the pupil. No?
My point being that neither yellowing nor darkening of the eye's lens, within reasonable limits, would affect much our ability to perceive neutral tonalities or induce us to prefer brighter monitor displays.
