It depends on what you're doing but I've had some success with Potential Differential down to a moderate depth, which can give a dimensional/shading effect, and Stripes (smooth and otherwise) which can add two types of stripe texture. Both are in aho.ucl. You do need to tweak both the colouring params and the color density to get the most interesting results. Finally, some sort of Smooth colouring is generally good for adding actual colours.
If a good mask can be devised then I sometimes just use a normal scale texture to add some subtle texture to selected parts of the image. I also sometimes use one or more general Gradient layers with a few nice colours to give a deep zoom a range of different colours across the whole canvas. These sorts of general techniques can add interest to an image that may otherwise be very difficult to enhance.
Here is an example of two types of stripe with smooth colouring on a zoom down to 1.67E31:

It depends on what you're doing but I've had some success with **Potential Differential** down to a moderate depth, which can give a dimensional/shading effect, and **Stripes (smooth and otherwise)** which can add two types of stripe texture.
