Any way add/reduce green tint to the white balance?

(First post here, sorry if I made any mistakes)
I use f.lux in a rather unconventional way than intended. Monitors are supposed to target 6500K but very often they are either too red or too blue out of the box. By default, mine sits at 6100K at 0% brightness, and 6300K at 100%. Besides that, there's also a very noticeable and strong purple shift/tint (lack of green).
At my preferred brightness of 30% I can use f.lux to set the daylight temperature to 7700K for Illuminant-D65 (changes to ~6500K actual) and at night set to 3150K for Illuminant-A (changes to ~2850K actual).
What this cannot fix however is the overall magenta/purple tint due to a lack of green as mentioned before.I.E: Is there any way to adjust the green amount like there is a slider for the red/blue balance? If not, is there a possibility to have this in a future update? Or perhaps any other software method to do this?

@sourdough05 yes it's important to calibrate displays. I can imagine doing some more of it in the future.
The "best" solution for this is to use a hardware calibrator like the i1display or the Spyder. These can account for not just the chromaticity of the whitepoint (like you describe) but the particular changes to render RGB properly also, and also they can make the "gamma curve" correct so that intermediate tones look right as well.
There are some apps that let you do this without the hardware, like QuickGamma: https://quickgamma.de/indexen.html and anything that adjusts ICC/ICM profiles like that tends to work with f.lux
