So, what I am talking about is ability for an amp to have some kind of inner-algorithm that dynamically and actively “color” or better to say “dye” signals, still maintaining general color-neutral tendencies.  Since I kind of formulate this concept in my head I would like to name it and will refer it in future as Active Pigmentation.
I think you must be careful to be seduced by the idea of adjustable color, to avoid going down the road that Bob Carver did with the adjustable Sunfire amp or Mark Levinson did with Cello Pallette preamp. It should be more like a knob to fine tune the station rather than a "loudness" button.


There is an experiment on this by Eduardo de Lima with his TIMBRE LOCK®...

"Timbre Lock: This circuit enables adjusting the bias of each of the twin internal amplifiers separately in real time for tuning the interaction between the amplifiers and whatever loudspeaker they are connect to. These adjustments have a subtle but profound impact on musical articulation, high frequency smoothness and bass extension."
