Getting a richer, more colorful sound

I've been looking to add more color and richness to my sound as I think I'm currently sounding too "plain" (for lack of a better word). Figuratively speaking, right now I think of my sound as being like just a plain cake: no icing, no toppings, just the cake. Descent, but one-dimensional and uninteresting. Hopefully that made sense.

One recording caught my attention that showcases what I'm looking for in my sound and it is by none other than Todd Levy. Here is the link to the YouTube video:

I recommend you listen with headphones because it's a lot easier to hear, but speakers clear enough should do the trick. He gets this sort of richness, depth, and color within his sound.

I'm looking to change the way I play first as opposed to trying to go down the equipment rabbit hole and all of that. I'm also not looking to be a Todd Levy clone, but I do want more color in my sound.

Any tips or exercises?
