No. Color perception is relative.

Basically, what you are doing is adding a cast to the image. This cast cancels out with the cast that the backlights give. When you add two complementary color casts to each other, you end up with neutral gray.

This results in an image which is darker, but still has the full color range that the TV is designed for.
