Hi,

maybe I misunderstood you, but the parameters which you can use in a
VectorColorFunction are {x,y,fx,fy,norm}. Just use fx and fy to
calculate your angle and make a color from it:

VectorPlot[{x, y}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, VectorColorFunction -> 
     Function[{x, y, fx, fy, norm}, ColorData["BrightBands"][
         Mod[ArcTan[fx, fy], 2*Pi]/(2*Pi)]], 
 VectorColorFunctionScaling -> False]

Cheers
Patrick
