I use the Klanghelm Vari Mu exactly as you stated, for colour, hardly any, if any needle movement Threshold (usually) between -6 and -12, Just adds a little glue and sees to fatten the low end nicely too. Between -6 and -12 I can use the threshold almost like a fatness control, above -12 and I tend to get pumping that does not fit what I do (but would be great on some 50's style rock n roll, or even a trashy old skool punk band, I make Proggy Groove metal, so it does not really fit my sound). I use the free version so you cant control the saturation, but it colours it even if you leave all controls at 0

It's better, usually, in mastering (which is not your master fader, that's your mix) because more transparent. I'm not a fan of mixing into a multiband compressor, but that's just me, many do it successfully. I'd prefer other multiband comps to C4 tho', Drawmer 1973 for example (Softube) or McDSP or PSP Oldtimer are all better choices depending on the style

Mastering a stereo track once mixed down is a separate process, typically done by someone other than the mix engineer on a different system. Usually this would involve bringing the track to commercial level, making any minor tonal adjustments, and if applicable making sure the tracks balance well with each other, for example in the case of an album. Hope that makes sense and helps a little bit.
