Issues with dark frame subtraction: Dark frames adding "noise" and changing image color/tint

More precisely, my approach was to take a series of shots, then firstly to subtract dark frames from each shot, secondly to use the mean of the series for the foreground to further reduce noise, and thirdly … Instead of reducing noise, the darkframe subtraction: increased the noise- or rather, added some dark/monochrome noise. changed the white-balance/tinted the image. …

Why does a non-linear relationship exist between noise level (of dark frame) and ISO setting

To understand the relationship between noise level (standard deviation) and ISO, I capture a sequence of dark frames with varied ISO (3 frames for each ISO, and other settings are identical). … The dark frames are recorded in a lightless environment with camera lens capped on, thus the std value of a frame should reflect the noise level there. …
