Mod requests (orders).

So, basically, if I take any texture (well, not just any, but let's say hypothetically), cut out parts of the objects onto a new layer, recolor the layer, and save it, will that result in a "safe recoloring"?

in principle, yes, this can be useful when coloring several objects (like now), when I'm creating creatures, it usually results in about 10 different layers - chainmail, plates, leather elements... this allows you to quickly change the color of similar elements.
