Laurence,

Here is the code for a simple example:

f[x_, y_] := x^2 + y^2

plot1 = ContourPlot[f[x, y], {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, 
    ContourShading -> False];

colfun[z_] := Hue[z/50]

clines = First[Graphics[plot1]] /. Line[pts_] :> 
     {colfun[f @@ pts[[1]]], Line[pts]}; 

Show[Graphics[{clines}], AspectRatio -> Automatic, Frame -> True, 
  FrameLabel -> {x, y}, PlotLabel -> f[x, y]]

I am separately sending you a notebook which illustrates it in more detail.
