you can keyframe both the Color Corrector 3-Way in FCP and corrections (primary, secondary etc) in Color. Just can't keyframe curves in Color.
This is a common issue - just locate the frame before the exposure change make a keyframe find the frame after the stop up down and make a keyframe. Then simply use the scopes to match the second keyframe to the first ( still store room helps with this)
Depending on the shot you may have to change your keyframe interpolation (in Color) to make the the correction smooth.

You might also consider duplicating the clip and color correcting it for each exposure separately, then putting a small cross dissolve between the 2 clips (you'll have to experiment with the length of the dissolve). In many cases this hides the change smoother than keyframing where the ramping of the exposure is still evident. And it can be a lot easier/faster.
