Hellebergs don't really offer "color", as I believe you mean to define it.

For "more color", try something with a not-so-deep but not-too-shallow cup, like a Marcinkiewicz N4...that is if you don't mind playing on a rounded rim (like most on this bbs seem to prefer, based on all of the "PT" talk that I see).

I use a (flat rimmed) Helleberg-ish mouthpiece on large tubas, but for medium and small tubas, I use a mouthpiece smaller than the one that I am recommending to you, and for the same reason - "color".
