Its not processing power thats the problem with greater colour control - its dmx control channels - and useability.
It is actually possible to do these things - its just a colour lookup table or a colour matrix.

If I were to start counting the number of dmx channels required to do what after effects can do - then it would very quickly exceed anything useable or controllable with ease from a current lighting desk.
And the interfaces on lighting desks are not appropriate for doing complex colour correction.
Once you start looking at the complexity of every function like this - I could add 10 parameters or more to almost every single fx - as you would in after effects - it becomes unusable.
