What kind of filter would you use to keep colors bright and not washed out on very sunny days???

  A polarizer. It should really help. It also helps seeing through windows, and through water.

  What exactly are you shooting? Can the objects be moved into the shade? If not, don't worry about filters. Get in close and meter off the bright color. Your exposure should be correct ... as long as there are no bright whites in the same composition. In this scenario, let the shadows and dark areas fall where they may. Let the color of the subject be the main point of interest.
