I am photosensitive. Extremely sensitive to light, so I prefer dark screens. Allow more darkness via a secondary program.

Blue colors are higher in energy, thus photosensitive people don't want the screen dark only, but brown-yellowish to cut-off the high frequencies.
My intelligence is normal and I use the Photoshop for short periods.
When I finalize a picture, I usually keep it dark, but without that brown-yellowish effect in order I control the output. So an on/off button to the high-cut filter (or blue cut-off filter) would be useful.
People are photosensitive due to:
1. disease (genetical, viral, bacterial, hormonal etc.)
2. psychological reasons
3. idiopathic disease (due to unknown cause)
I'm really sorry that I disturbed you.
Some people are photoinsensitive. These people have the opposite
problem, so they need exactly the same program, with simply a different name, and with inverse dynamic parametrizing.
I respect other people who have different issues.
I don't care only about me, but also about people who have different
issues and I NEVER forget that we must offer the the same things!
I love what you do for us!
Best Regards,
Ken

Great idea, Ken! There's been a lot more research into issues regarding photosensitivity since you wrote your original comment, so I'm sure Microsoft is hot on the trail of the newest, cutting edge technology, just for folks suffering from issues such as yours. Than being said Ken, I'm also pretty sure that you haven't 'disturbed' anybody...especially the Accessibility Professionals! These folks are doing a great job keeping up with our special needs, and hearing from folks with different needs only gives them a brighter light to shine on, (pun intended), the ways and means to assist them! Ken, you clearly have a big heart and a global vision on how all people need and deserve considerations regardless of their specific handicap, so I say, keep 'disturbing' these 'Accessibility Professionals' with your thoughtful and considerate ideas, and never question the fact that you are just as valuable as each and every one of us is!! You are doing a good deed by bringing this condition and ideas to remedy it to the folks who can actually help with it. Remember, if it weren't for people like you Ken, these folks wouldn't have a job! Best of Luck to You!

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback on color and lighting needs within Windows. The current options we have available for Windows 10 are as follows:
You can customize the amount of blue light emitted within "Night Lite Settings". This can be found by searching for "Night Lite" in Cortana. The Night Lite settings allow you to alter the amount of blue light emitted as an overall setting or to set up a schedule for when you would like the computer to display more or less blue light, as blue light can also affect your ability to sleep at night.
There are dark themes currently available within Windows 10, Edge, and the Microsoft Office suite.
High contrast colors for text, hyperlinks, disabled text, selected text, button text, and background are customizable via PC settings, with new color filtering options available as well. The available color filters are grayscale, invert, grayscale inverted, deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia.
If you would like any assistance setting up these items or updating to the latest version of Windows 10 which has these new options, please call the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk at 1 (800) 936-5900.
Sincerely,
The Microsoft Disability Answer Desk team.
