I guess that with modern composited desktops you could filter everything that gets outputted to the screen and change the colors (turn everything into monochrome and then apply a red filter on the whites). http://stereopsis.com/flux/ and http://jonls.dk/redshift/ do something like that.

OS X can "enhance contrast" (posterize) or invert the entire display in the Universal Access system pref.

Most likely this could be achieved in a hacky manner via the monitor calibration settings in most operating systems.

Thanks a lot for pointing those out, especially f.lux. I'd never heard of them before, but they're fantastic.
