Now you're confusing coloring with changing the sound.,
Any compressor can be used to change the sound of a track without expressing being used for managing the dynamics.
SonicAlbert said:With some compressors though you may not want the original tone changed much or at all, and just desire the dynamics altering aspect of the compressor. So a relatively uncolored compressor is what you would want to use. There is a lot of grey area here though, as even an "uncolored" compressor can be very noticeable if the compressor is laid on thickly. And likewise, some compressors known for their color, like the Distressors, are very very clean if the compression is used lightly. So there is a large area for debate.
