Is this possible? Is there software to have a magenta or turquoise color filter, for example?


( It's an accessibility issue, relevant to irlen syndrome: I see extra shapes around letters and certain colour filters can help reduce them. You can get prescribed specialist tinted glasses, but when I get those they will be prescription and I don't need my prescription for things that are close up, like my computer screen.


Of course the redlight colour filter in "Displays" that's installed by default is useful, but it's not the optimal colour for me I find. Using Ubuntu 20.04


There is an android app called "tintvision" That does this for phones)
a physical plastic version of these overlays.

I did a quick search and found ColorTint, a gnome shell extension that tints desktop colors. It seems to do exactly what you are looking for, and claims to "help with dyslexia, visual stress, scopic sensitivity, and related conditions" by changing the colors of your desktop. It lets you choose the exact color in RGB and opacity in the settings.


If you are unfamiliar with Gnome Shell extensions, see this article from LinuxHint on how to install them.
