Colour Tinting in GNOME Shell
Status: Needs a GUI.
Description
Certain vision and cognitive problems are accommodated by tinting the view. As of GNOME 3.6, the GNOME Shell magnifier has this functionality, but lacks a user interface.

- GNOME Shell magnifier has the ability to alter the brightness and contrast on a per channel basis (RGB).
GSettings has settings for brightness and contrast separately for each channel in org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier.
- Missing: A GUI to allows users to manipulate these settings and choose the tint they want.
There is a demo app that uses three spinners each for brightness and contrast. This is not a polished UI, but demonstrates the idea. A screen shot of the desktop with a red tint is shown below. The multi-spinner GUI is shown in this screen capture.
