Don't forget that Night Color is only the first part of the planned work here. In the end it is also about giving the user control over gamma / color values of the attached screens in general, which sounds similar to the ICC profiles stuff and maybe should be integrated anyway. Which means then it would make sense again to use the proposed name. But if not, gamma correction would be the way to go, because as I said in the end not only color temperature
  
  
  The difference between gamma correction and color correction is that the former only uses three 1D LUTs, while the latter can use three 3D LUTs. In other words, gamma correction cannot tint your blue more green, while color correction can.
