My friend and I were playing at lunch today and he had something like a Lavaclaw Reaches land and Naya Hushblade . He said that the land because it was gold bordered counted as another multicolored permanent. As a land has no mana on it, the usual determining factor if something is multicolored I protested. Does such land count towards the multicolored trigger?

Edit: Thank you very much for the responses. I have shown this to my friend and he has conceeded the point. Thank you all.

You are correct, the land has no color.  An object's color is always determined by its mana cost, or an effect that says it has a color.  It doesn't matter what color the frame is.

Lavaclaw Reaches has no mana cost and so it is colorless.
 

Naya Hushblade would receive the buff when Lavaclaw Reaches was animated, but not when it isn't.

No.  Lands are colorless, unless there is another effect giving them a color (like Painter's Servant ) or have it otherwise stated on the card ( Dryad Arbor ).

This raises the question.. Do transformers change colors? If i change my Civilized Scholar to a Homicidal Brute does he become red?
