What I do is create a ColorFunction to map z to a range of 0 to 1/2. For Example Compare the following two plots.
DensityPlot[Sin[(x + y)*y], {x, -2*Pi, 2*Pi}, {y, -2*Pi, 2*Pi},
PlotPoints -> 100, Mesh -> False, ColorFunction -> Hue];
myColor[x_] := Hue[x/2]
DensityPlot[Sin[(x + y)*y], {x, -2*Pi, 2*Pi}, {y, -2*Pi, 2*Pi},
PlotPoints -> 100, Mesh -> False, ColorFunction -> myColor];
