The default is ColorFunctionScaling -> True.  Either set it to False
or rescale to taste.

f[x_] = x;

Row[SphericalPlot3D[1, {t, 0, 2 Pi}, {p, 0, Pi},
    ColorFunction ->
     Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, #],
    ColorFunctionScaling -> False,
    ImageSize -> 275,
    ViewPoint -> {5, -5, 0}] & /@
  {Hue[f[Abs@z]], Hue[f[z]]}]
