Coloured filters will not assist with seeing the division. An ND filter may help if the glare is making it hard to see, never tried so cannot comment.
Coloured filters are useful for enhancing contrast of faint features on planetary surfaces, particularly Jupiter and Mars. Saturns surface features are really faint.

Having said all that I am not a planetary observer so others may give more useful info!
