SuperCal is a visual display calibrator capable of measuring and correcting most conventional displays, including LCDs, CRTs and projectors. SuperCal doesn't require any hardware measurement devices - only your eyeballs - yet it can be much more accurate, based on how well you pay attention to what you're doing :)

This software allows you normalize the response curves for red, green, and blue. it does this perfectly so long as you know what you are doing (hint: blur your eyes a bit when trying to equalize top and bottom halves). Unfortunately, you're still on your own for selecting the correct white balance. You need some kind of hardware colour reader to really get it perfect. The interface is a bit difficult to use at first.

This is one of the first things I run on a mac. It's not just for graphics designers by the way. I'm a slightly colorblind unix guy and I really notice the improvement.Â
