For seed saving purposes, do these varieties turn color? How do you know when to collect seed?

Big Jim turns red.
All peppers turn color when ripe. Any green pepper is an unripe pepper.
Let them ripen fully, then collect seed.

Thanks. That's what I figured. These ones really take their time to ripen.
