Blender has a very powerful system for colour grading.
http://members.dodo.com.au/iaina/BlenderNodePrimer.pdf sounds like a
good guide on how to use it (I haven't read it myself though). There
should also be plenty of video tutorials available for it too. The
version of Blender shipped with most distros doesn't include ffmpeg
support for restricted codecs so you may want to grab the one from
blender.org instead.
Kdenlive is possibly the easiest to use but won't give you the same
control: http://kdenlive.org/effects

Good luck,
Cillian
