I know older people have a yellowing of the eye... and that they see less light. Does this mean the world looks slightly yellower? or slightly bluer (because the cone & rods don't recieve as much yellow light).

Color perception can be objectively measured and it relates to eye health. Cones or rods do not necessarily break down with age.
It's not the mileage, it's the wear. ;-)

My eyes are not much yellower than when I was born and I am 67. I still see the same rich colors I have always seen and have not detected any changes.

Since how we see the world is subjective, there is no way to communicate it from one person to another, so no way to answer your question. But I think older people see the world exactly the same way as younger people.

Fuzzier but my color perception hasn't changed.
