Do recolor count as seperate sprites?

[TKGB]

I'm ripping sprites for a level in Mr. Nutz and this level is seperated into 3 stages and each stage has the same graphics used but they are recolored. I'm not sure I should ripped these graphics just because they are recolors since I doubt anyone cares about recolors (I think). I would try to simply get a screenshot of the other levels and recolor the sprites I got with the colors of the stage but I might as well just ripped these the same way I did with the first stage.

I don't know what to think of this. Should I rip all the graphics of a game, even though they are just recolors?
