Hi Grant,

with colour band, I guess you mean a single band mapped to a color ramp 
(Singleband pseudocolor)? If you scale your brightness band to 0-255 
range, you could use this as a transparency band.

Maybe this is what you want?

If you want more control over how exactly RGB values are rendered based 
on your inputs, you could implement a custom raster renderer.
In our EnMAP-Box plugin, we have several examples, e.g. a Bivariate 
Color Raster Renderer:

https://github.com/EnMAP-Box/enmap-box/blob/main/enmapbox/coreapps/bivariatecolorrasterrendererapp/bivariatecolorrasterrenderer.py

Regards
Andreas
