ng-repeat :filter by single field

See the example on the filter page. Use an object, and set the color in the color property:

Search by color: <input type="text" ng-model="search.color">
<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter:search"> 

Specify the property (i.e. colour) where you want the filter to be applied:

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter:{ colour: by_colour }">

You can filter by an object with a property matching the objects you have to filter on it:

app.controller('FooCtrl', function($scope) {
   $scope.products = [
       { id: 1, name: 'test', color: 'red' },
       { id: 2, name: 'bob', color: 'blue' }
       /*... etc... */
   ];
});

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter: { color: 'red' }"> 

This can of course be passed in by variable, as Mark Rajcok suggested.
