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 (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?

702.113a Devoid is a characteristic-defining ability. “Devoid” means “This object is colorless.” This ability functions everywhere, even outside the game. See rule 604.3.

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

  • 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.
