There were a lot of things I didn't like about the now-extinct Apple Color (holy user interface, Batman!), but one thing I really, really miss is the Hue Curves feature.

It was SO useful. You could boost your reds and dampen your yellows and make your too-cyan sky a little more blue by adding a few points on the curve. Easy-peasy. Or you could get really fancy and use it to match the chips on your calibration chart.
And now, I can't find that feature anywhere. As far as I know, it's not in Premiere, it's not in After Effects, it's not in DaVinci Resolve, and it's not in Color Finesse. None of the other color correction methods – circles, huge lists of sliders, whatever – offer that same kind of control. I miss it dearly!
Is there anything out there that'll bring this feature back? If I could have my cake and eat it too, I'd like to be able to use it from within Premiere, please :-)
(Note: This is distinct from brightness / channel curves, which do something altogether different.)
