Sct (set color temperature) is a UNIX tool which allows you to set the color temperature of your screen. It is simpler than Redshift and f.lux.
It is available from standard repositories (Stretch has sct in repo).
It is a very light app, which works the most easy way :
sct + color value between 1000 and 10 000 Kelvin.
To have sct set to 3500, a very warm screen color, just do :
sct 3500 in terminal.
For blueish screen color, do :
sct 8000
Default screen color is 6500K .
Users of redshift (or sct) use it in the evening, because a warmer screen color temperature matches the warmer color temperature occuring in the evening.
By night time, if you keep your screen color temperature to 6500K (default), you risk alter your sleep pattern, and fall asleep much later or not at all. The blue light at night may have the same effect as a cup of coffee.
Similar apps are available for Androïd, iPhone, etc.
