certainly, Clone  doesn't target in any event also Emrakul can be exiled by Oblivion Ring  since its the ability doing the exiling

Yes, you can use Clone to copy it. It works both for the reason you say (Clone isn't a spell when it copies) and even if Clone did copy as a spell, it doesn't do anything that protection stops (it doesn't target, deal damage, block, or enchant)

If Painter's Servant  makes Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre  a coloured spell, you can not target Emrakul, the Aeons Torn  with its triggered ability because the source is a coloured spell.
I don't think that this is true, but I am not sure - Imo it is a triggered ability, and Emrakul is not protected against that.

You always have to look at the source of an ability. Since the source of this ability is the Ulamog spell (which has a colour) it can't target Emrakul. See this ruling for the exact same example:
6/15/2010 "Protection from colored spells" means that Emrakul can't be the target of colored spells (including colored Aura spells) or of abilities whose sources are colored spells (such as the "when you cast" ability of an Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre that's been turned red by Painter's Servant). It also means that all damage that would be dealt to Emrakul by colored spells is prevented. Like every protection ability, it works only while Emrakul is on the battlefield.

"You spend twenty years learning the spell that makes nude virgins appear in your bedroom, and then you're so poisoned by quicksilver fumes and half-blind from reading old grimoires that you can't remember what happens next."

Protection from X means (among other things) that it can't be the target of X spells or abilities from X sources. Emrakul can't be the target of colored spell spells or abilities from colored spell sources.
Abilities never have colors or types or any of the other characteristics that protection abilities care about; you always have to look at the source to determine if the protection applies.
