Thanks, this did the right job! This is my code given radii r and R,  
and a list { {u, v}->scalarValue }:

ParametricPlot3D[
  {
   {(R + r*Cos[v]) Sin[u],
    (R + r*Cos[v]) Cos[u],
    r*Sin[v]}},
  {u, 0, 2 Pi},
  {v, 0, 2 Pi},
  ColorFunction -> Function[{x, y, z, u, v}, Hue[First[Nearest[vals,  
{v, u}]]]],
  ColorFunctionScaling -> False,
  Mesh -> 19,
  MeshStyle -> Gray
  ]


I rescaled the field with Rescale[] as you suggested. Do you have any  
suggestion on how to improve this code?
