Colors on my monitor are too yellow.

On Windows 7, there is the color calibration tool accessible from the Control Panel, or as dccw.exe.

I'd like to calibrate color without extra spectrometers are other special hardware. Note that dccw does this by showing you a series of photos and asking you to adjust colors so that the photos match a certain description (e.g., so that the difference between two shades of black is just barely visible, or that some stripes appear distinct).

How can I do that in Ubuntu?

Using Asus laptop, Xubuntu 13.10

  • Export the profile on Windows, convert to Ubuntu format, import there?

You can use gnome-color-manager to do the same in Ubuntu. For Xubuntu have a look here

    Thank you. But don't you need extra hardware (measuring instrument) to do this? I'm looking for a utility that will let me calibrate colors by looking at specific photographs and adjusting colors to make the photos look a certain way, as the Windows tool does.

    You can use color tool which is in System Settings -> Color. It may need to download addition packages for calibration like ICC Profile Installer, Color Picker etc..
