Try using some tool like monica

Or the gamma page in kcontrol to get a neutral tone. You should unlink
the 3 color channels and set them indipendently.

Maybe also the "build a coarse profile"  function in the monitor tab in
LProf could be useful.

Note that a yellowish color cast is normal on a well calibrated
monitor... but it will seem yellowish only at the beginnig! Your eyes
will adapt.

good luck
