Are all these colors from the same variety? If yes, then only harvest seeds from the red fruits, seeds from the other colors will be immature. (And, depending on the variety, you may need to let the red fruit to get to the "leathery" stage to get the best seed... but if you don't know if the variety will get leathery or not, that may mean letting a red pepper sit on the plant so long that it rots, and that's how you learn if it's got a leathery stage or not.)
