Could it—by any chance—be kiwmi? But it ain’t tiling (unless you make it so) & the fully manual thing also depends on the config. AFAIK that behaviour was explicitly mentioned only in its early history, as you can see e.g. in PR#1

Actually Portable Vim (With a Cute Vimrc)
I don't know what you mean by color management - is it the calibration of the display with xrite/argyll?
For ICC profiles colormgr can help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles#Wayland
If you just need basic brightness, contrast and gamma, wl-gammactl should do that: https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl
BTW Hyprland is not required, it's just the most practical way to have shortcuts key mappings in Wayland

Setting Contrast Value in Wayland
However, this does not work in Wayland since it obviously belongs to the X Window System. I started searching the web for a possible solution and found wl-gammactl, which is a GUI for wlroots (https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl) and the gnome-gamma-tool (https://github.com/zb3/gnome-gamma-tool), but neither of them seemed to work because of missing dependencies, which can't be installed or invalid version numbers of required packages (e.g. found 1.20 but need: '>=1.23'). When attempting to build the gnome-gamma-tool, the following error message appears (despite Colord being installed):

Being productive in Plasma 5.23.2 - So I've heard KDE Plasma is bad with Wayland and multi-monitors...
It's very much possible with Wayland. Whether Plasma supports it is another question, unfortunately. Great program though, you can control it with commands and set an invert screen colors keybind.

How to invert screen colors?
What would be the best way to implement this? I tried wl-gammactl https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl with those settings but the screen just goes fully white?

Import gamma colors from X11 to Wayland
Probably it just support sway as said here on github

How to control OLED brightness in Wayland
Wayland is the protocol applications use to talk to compositors. What you need to control (this kind of-, since I assume you want a software overlay) brightness depends on the compositor/desktop environment you use. For wlroots based compositors (wayfire, sway) wl-gammactl or wlr-brightness could be useful. For Gnome (below version 40) the soft-brightness extension looks like what you need.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kiwmi and wl-gammactl you can also consider the following projects:
cagebreak - Cagebreak: A Wayland Tiling Compositor Inspired by Ratpoison
wlr-brightness - Adjust the brightness of wlroots-based compositors such as sway.
swaylock - Screen locker for Wayland
swaybg - Wallpaper tool for Wayland compositors
