Thank you for your elaborated answer, but that does not help me in my problem. I already use 
Mint-Y-Dark Teal theme for my system. Only the white color is to bright for me.
Somehow, I managed to change the white color in gtk.css by changing all (255,255,255)(#ffffff)(white)
inputs to (248,245,245)(#f8f5f5).But the change made the result different than expected. It finishes with
(235,235,235) which I can't find in gtk.css. It must be that GTK changed something else in the system.
Will continue with dulling the theme a little bit more :))
