Hi.. I was quite curious with your query..WRI should really introduce
a ContourColorFunction...
If you can express your equations in a ParametricPlot you can do what
you want.
Another way is to use StreamPlot, you'll have to define the vector
field of your function
f[z_, x_] = z Exp[-Sqrt[z^2 + x^2]/2.]
Then the vector field along which f[z,x] is constant
v[x_, y_] = {D[f[x, y], y], -D[f[x, y], x]}
and the stream plot with lines
StreamPlot[v[x, y], {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10},
StreamColorFunction -> Function[{x, y, vx, vy, nxy}, Hue[f[x, y]]],
StreamStyle -> "Line"]
Many thanks for reminding me my undergrad calculus...
Best
