Could you clarify the rule about suggestions concerning pieces please?

Where pieces are colourbound, is it permissible to have a suggestion about
changing a piece where the change depends upon the colour of the square
upon which the piece starts?  This would mean that pieces with more than
one item of that type on the board could be split into two types of
pieces: however that would only work if the pieces for which they become
changed are colourbound.

For example, suppose that someone wished to suggest that a knight upon its
own colour becomes swapped for a (2,2) leaper and that a knight upon its
countercolour becomes swapped for a (3,1) leaper.  Would that suggestion
be permissible under the rules?

Please note that I am not wishing to make that suggestion, I am just using
it as a way of illustrating the question which I am asking about the rules
so that, if it is permissible, further thought may be given to the matter
of what substitutions to suggest.
