Hi Glorfinder, and thanks. I started a "bounty" in order to get you a well-deserved prize from me for the many good answers received from you. But, still knowing too little about the options, I failed to adequately communicate my intention, and Murgatroid did not find my proposal interesting, canceling the "bounty". I hope to be able to repeat the operation better, maybe another time, and for better questions.

No problem, and remember you need the reputation more than I do :)

<p>A card with <em>devoid</em> is colorless. But is it still colorless when it's a spell? I mean: when is it in the stack, that is, when it is not yet a permanent, and when it has not yet been resolved?</p>

<p>As an example, I can take a card called <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bUnnatural%20Aggression%5d">Unnatural Aggression</a> (mana cost 2G,so that at first glance it may seem that the spell is green). Is it possible to choose as one of this spell's targets a creature that has "protection from colored spells" among its abilities?    </p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-06)

A card with *devoid* is colorless. But is it still colorless when it's a spell? I mean: when is it in the stack, that is, when it is not yet a permanent, and when it has not yet been resolved?

As an example, I can take a card called [Unnatural Aggression](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bUnnatural%20Aggression%5d) (mana cost 2G,so that at first glance it may seem that the spell is green). Is it possible to choose as one of this spell's targets a creature that has "protection from colored spells" among its abilities?

'Everywhere' includes the stack, so a creature with protection from green can still be targeted by Unnatural Aggression.
