Maybe you could change the gamma table. This is the way that Dimmer works.
The system would still think that it showing white, but it could be something
totally different. You can observe this when Dimmer is activated. The system
seems to be happy even when all the colors are dark.

I'm talking about the commercial Mac II Dimmer by Chris Derossi. I think it's
the most unobstructive screen saver available.
