Hello all, I have a question regarding cards such as Barbarian Ring  . Ruling 203.2b states
Objects with no colored mana symbols in their mana costs are colorless.[/quote]
Thus lands are(unless otherwise specified) colorless. I couldn't find any rules which would change the color of Barbarian Ring when it is sacrificed(checked under Activated Effects, Colors, and in the Glossary of the Comp. Rules).
[s]Thus I ask: When I sacrifice Barbarian Ring , is the damage dealt colorless, thus getting around cards which have Protection: Color? Likewise, would cards such as Armorer Guildmage  be unable to power up a Pro: Red creature because the card itself is red, a pro: Green creature because the ability requires  , or neither because the colors are cumulative?
Found my answer in
A permanent or player with protection can’t be targeted by spells with the stated quality and can’t be targeted by abilities from a source with the stated quality.
But this would lead to another question: Is the source the card, or the ability?

Yes, lands are colourless (unless an effect specifies otherwise).
Abilities don't have a colour - Protection stops abilities from sources with a certain characteristic. Hence Armorer Guildmage can't affect creatures with Pro: Red, but can affect creatures with Pro: Black or Pro: Green, with either ability.
When you sac Barbarian Ring, the damage is dealt by a colourless source, so bypasses Pro: Red and Circles of Protection.

Protection stops abilities from sources with a certain characteristic from targeting the Object/Player with Protection. Hence Armorer Guildmage can't [s][color=black]affect Target[/color] creatures with Pro: Red,
Fixed.
If an Object  has an ability that does not try to Damage, Enchant/Equip/fortify, Block, Target an Object/Player, then it CAN 'affect' and Object  /Player with Protection [DEBT].
