I was reading that the skin and eyes come from Radiation from the Salamanders Homeworld.

Primaris Greyshield reinforcements didn't come from Nocturne... would they look different?

I thought it was tied to their Geneseed?

It used to be tied to both. The radiation exacerbated the issues with the Melanchromic Organ Salamanders have.

This is a common misconception. You don't have to be from Nocturne to develop obsidian skin. You just have to have Salamanders geneseed and spend some time on Nocturne. It's not the population, it's the environment.

So personally I would say the early Salamanders Greyshields would've been much lighter in tone. Though almost certainly all of them would've eventually stepped foot on Nocturne, or another high radiation environment that'd trigger melanochrome saturation.
