[Painter's Servant](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=146022) makes all cards the color of your choice. [Mycosynth Lattice](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=50527) makes all cards colorless. What happens if they're both in play at the same time? Does the most recently played one take precedent?
