"With the usual default setting ColorFunctionScaling->True, all
arguments supplied to func are scaled to lie in the range 0 to 1."
In your first example, #1 and #2 are each scaled before being fed to
Sin[#1 + #2]] & so the argument of the Sin is in the interval {0, 2}.
In your second example, the argument of Hue[#3] & is in the interval
{0, 1}. The plots would be identical if you used ColorFunctionScaling
-> False in each.
