4k screen Y50-70 colour calibration

The Lenovo Y50-70 with UHD screen come with a weird defect in the screen panel, all yellow colours are off.
All other colours look fine, but everything that is supposed to be yellow looks like mustard.

Are there any tools or parameters for configuring specific colours in linux?

Not sure if it's relevant, but the laptop has one integrated and one discrete graphics card;
Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller and
NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 860M]

Nice laptop!

GNOME has excellent support for HiDPI screens and colour balancing -- try that.

Thanks!
The HiDPI things I have already configured in xmonad.

But how do I configure the ICC files as they are binary, without having a colorimeter to generate the files?
