With my Morugas for example, if I see any green still, I wait till it turns solid red but if not totally ripe, I don't think it would make a major difference.
I could be wrong.

If it's just a little early the seeds should be viable. I always try to pick the best looking (or biggest ) peppers for my seeds.
For the best seeds you should let the pods get completely ripe or even extra ripe before picking.
