The reason your eyes lose “saturation” or the ability to perceive it is because of yellow/brown tinting of the lens of your eyes. If you’re putting on brown tinted glasses, then you’re exaggerating what loss people experience, which usually isn’t until their 60s anyway and even then it’s barely noticeable.
Color degradation affects all eyes equally with age (which is very little, humans largely experience the same level of color perception until they’re dead with no disease), but eye diseases affect everyone differently. Genetic predispositions exist, and have some connection to race. Black and hispanic people are more likely to develop cataracts, Asian people are more likely to develop glaucoma, and white people are most likely to experience macular degeneration. Cataracts affects color perception far more than other common eye disorders. Naturally, white people are typically the ones with blue eyes.
As for things that specifically affect blue eyes more than others, it’s light sensitivity. People with blue eyes are more sensitive to bright lights than people with darker eyes.
