I recently posted a post on Cosmere Reddit with this same title, hoping to see what they thought about the following anecdote: "You see, a few years ago, talking to some friends, we came to the conclusion that yellow eyes were the rarest type of eyes among Roshar's light eyes. Because this would be the genetic heritage of the Bondsmiths, and given their historical behavior, it is highly unlikely that they would have left much of an impact on the Rosharian gene pool. After reviewing that conversation, I realized something theoretically. So there should be many more people with red Lighteyes on Roshar since they would be descendants of the Dustbringers and the Lightweavers. Where are those people?" But it did not receive the type of interaction I expected, since I did not correctly calculate how many people were aware of the mechanism by which the lighteyes were generated in Roshar. My intention was to see what they thought about it: If it was Brandon's mistake or, on the contrary, if it gave us information about Roshar's past, at least during the Hierocracy. I'm posting it here again to see what you think. And in this case, I'm going to place the sources xD

Can an Awakener use colour from a person's eyes to fuel an Awakening? How powerful or skilled would an Awakener need to be in order to achieve this? Would people with grey eyes be immune? We know that an Awakener can use colour from gemstones What about smokestone (smoky quartz)? Awakening bleaches colours to grey, can it draw colour from a grey gemstone?
