If you take your photo outside, then like all outdoor photography don't take a photo in the middle of the day. The bright sunshine will bleach out your colors. Don't take a photo in the shade; it will change your colors. The best time of day for the light is early morning up to a couple of hours after the sun is fully up and the last hour before sunset. It is all based on the angle of the sunlight. No matter what you are shooting, the last hour of the day will give you magic lighting due to the angle that the light hits the earth.
