Hello Nikolay!
I think this strange behavior is because of the following issues of your
device's dark area:
1) Quite dark R0,G0,B0 - L=3.7, a=-0.65, b=-3.6.
2) At the same time the darkest neutral point is quite light -
approximately L=10.
I don't think you want to use this device as color proofing device, right?
So I suppose that in this case you don't need good colorimetric
precision, you need just good visual quality.
So I would try to edit measurements to make it more "correct". I would
try to "move" darkest point R0,G0,B0 from L=3.7, a=-0.65, b=-3.6 to
L=3.7, a=-0.65, b=0.
Certainly, in such case it's necessary to "move" some neighbor values
too e.g. by using some linear equation.
By using this method, I think, you will get more deep and correct
shadows. Such small blue cast in such deep shadows will be invisible,
for sure.
Best regards,

Hello, Graeme.
Can You take a look on the device (TI3 attached in archieve)?
Perceptual and Saturation intents in ArgyllCMS profile are OK, but
relative intent is quite strange: there is lightness inversion at the
black side of a gray gradient.
I know that the device is behaved bad. But I didn't expecting that there
will be lightness reverse at a black side. See the boxes below the 8..18
numbers in Test_relative.png attachment. It seems that the black point
is lighter than some intermediate dark gray.
I'm searching a way how to achieve a uniform gradient with relative intent.
