I'm not sure if this is what you're asking for, but you could play around with Mesh and MeshFunctions. For example With[{meshn = 10, fmin=-1, fmax=1}, ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[\[Phi]] Sin[\[Theta]], Sin[\[Phi]] Sin[\[Theta]], Cos[\[Theta]]}, {\[Phi], 0, 2 \[Pi]}, {\[Theta], 0, \[Pi]}, PlotPoints -> 100, MeshFunctions -> Function[{x, y, z, \[Phi], \[Theta]}, Sin[6 \[Phi]] Sin[6 \[Theta]]], Mesh -> {Table[{i, Hue[Rescale[i, {fmin, fmax}]]}, {i, fmin, fmax, 2/meshn}]}, Lighting -> {{"Ambient", White}}]] This draws meshn contours of Sin[6 \[Phi]] Sin[6 \[Theta] between fmin and fmax where the colour of each contour depends on its value.
