If your photos are coming out dark, your monitor might still be too bright even after calibration - a lot of people's are. Do you know the cd/m2 you calibrated at? The right brightness at the end of the day is what matches the print, but I calibrate mine at 100 cd/m2 and it's perfect for prints, so that might be a good starting point. Also make sure when you're judging photo brightness that you do so under the light it will be viewed in - prints often look very dark, but come to life when hit with some light.
Regarding color, make sure you're using sRGB start to finish, and if there is an actual color cast over the whole image that would suggest maybe you aren't seeing it as well as you think you are on the monitor, or there could be an issue on the printer side. Try the actual printer's color Profile and see what happens.
