Nikon’s most recent DSLR’s have what is called ‘Active D-Lighting’. It is a Adaptive Dynamic Range algorithm.
Here are two links that describes this feature. One is withing the Nikon D3 review and the other in the Nikon D300

These are the two camera I know have such a feature. I am sure Canon has a similar feature, but someone who owns one will need to give you the link
When it comes to colour control within the white balance section of the Nikon menu, there is an amazing amount of control
