Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it’s just the new color, not that color and colorless.

Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.

You must target a creature and a land in order to cast Grip of Desolation. A permanent that’s both a land and a creature can be chosen for both targets.

If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object’s color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.
