Now that you mention it, I think the color sep is half of what bugs me about Roy's design. I had to look back at some screenshots from FMA to compare. It's not like they outlined the eyes completely, but it was enough to make it clear where the eyes were supposed to begin and end. Even comparing how he looks in the opening (http://pics.livejournal.com/dragonimp/pic/0000dz8e) (where he has lower lids) with how he looks during the show (http://pics.livejournal.com/dragonimp/pic/0000c11b) (where they're absent), there's a big difference. It's one of those things that works fine in black and white, but doesn't work so well with color.
I think they were too focused on giving Brotherhood a distinct style and kinda forgot what makes for good animation -_-
