I'd like my screen to be darker. I can dim the screen up to a point, and I can use themeing to get apps to display with dark colours, but most of the web uses white backgrounds that contrast heavily with my desktop.

I'd like to use a colour profile (ICC, ICM) with whole screen colour correction to darken the screen as a whole.

Do such profiles exist? Is there a linux tool I can use to create them?

You might want to have a look at F.lux; it changes the colors of your screen depending on the time of day. I think it's able to also darken the white to something more reddish, which is more comforting for the eyes at night.

It depends on your video driver. The most generic is to use Gamma in the xorg.conf Monitor section. Some proprietary drivers (e.g. nVidia) have preference panels for setting monitor gamma.

I use nvidia-settings to set gamma on my main machine mostly because I hate mucking with xorg.conf files. ICM is probably overkill for your intended use.
