My laptop, a Thinkpad T430 with Intel HD4000 graphics, shows pretty desaturated colors by default. On Windows I can just increase saturation using the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel to get extremely lively colors. Is there any tweak/application that I can use to get similar results in Ubuntu?

Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night.
I'm not sure if this is what you need because, as far as I know, it won't let you adjust the colour temperature manually. It may help though, so Here's the website anyway.
Install ccsm (compiz config settings manager) and compiz plugins:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins
In CCSM, enable the Opacity, Brightness, Saturation Plugin. In that plugin, you can reduce the saturation (I myself make saturation zero and use invert plugin to invert colors (white on black is less strenuous on eyes when casual reading/browsing) generally to reduce eye-strain :))
To use the OBS plugin, simply make a New rule which can be used to match windows by name, type, class, etc. For example, to match all windows, use type=any
