I often use the HueShift node to smoothen skin tones. But I find it difficult 
to configure it for other hues. And I have to key out the skin first.
I recall now that there is a gizmo for a Hue-vs-Hue curve approach on 
Nukepedia: 
dg_HSLTool v1.0

After playing with it for a minute I guess that would do most of what I expect 
in that regard.
But maybe the tool you are developing is even easier to adjust. I would like to 
see it in action some day.

Best,

Anselm
