Something like gammy for F36 with Wayland?
Been using this https://github.com/Fushko/gammy/releases on F35. Now that Fedora defaults to Wayland on Nvidia cards i can't use it anymore (I could if i went back to X11 i suppose). I have tried https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma but it doesn't seem to work on fedora, even when compiling it myself. Anyone got a similar software that does work? I hate getting flashbanged when opening a website with a white background at 23:00.

Extension to invert colors if average pixel color would otherwise be over 50% bright (Automatic "emergency" dark mode to protect eyes)
You could look into potentially porting https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma to use gnome protocols. That does a lot of heavy lifting to make analyzing overall color efficient and battery-friendly, and I don't *think* it would require a whole lot of modification to get it to work nicely with mutter

I can recommend brillo for screen brightness management.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing wluma and brillo you can also consider the following projects:
wlr-protocols - Wayland protocols designed for use in wlroots (and other compositors)
brightnessctl - A program to read and control device brightness
Clightd - A linux bus interface that lets you change screen brightness, compute captured webcam frames brightness and change screen temperature.
