As Painter’s Servant enters, choose a color.
All cards that aren’t on the battlefield, spells, and permanents are the chosen color in addition to their other colors.
It gathers hues from the twilight mist so that its master can paint a better world.
If something affected by Painter's Servant is normally colorless, it will simply be the new color. It won't be both the new color and colorless.

Each card becomes a new object as it changes zones, so this effect will apply to it from scratch in the new zone. Zone-change replacement abilities that care about the new color (like "[color] permanents enter tapped") won't work because those effects are applied as the card is entering its new zone. Zone-change triggered abilities that care about the new color (like "when a [color] permanent enters" or "when you cast a [color] spell") will work because those effects apply after the card is already in its new zone.

While Painter's Servant is on the battlefield, an effect that changes an object's colors will overwrite Painter's Servant's effect. For example, casting Cerulean Wisps on a creature will turn it blue, regardless of the color chosen for Painter's Servant.

This ability doesn't overwrite any previous colors. Rather, it adds another color.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
