Yes. Separate effects can chain into consecutive turns. A wild-color card copies only a bonus color; it does not copy another card's ability.

Does a wild-color card copy the number of bonuses on the card it overlaps?
No. It adds one bonus in the chosen color, even when placed on a card that has two bonuses.

When does a purchased card's ability resolve relative to replacing it in the pyramid? Official
Put the purchased card in your tableau, replace it from its deck, then resolve its ability. You can see the replacement before choosing a token to take.

Is the gold token taken while reserving tied to that reserved card? Official
No. You may spend that gold later toward any card's cost, and it counts with your other tokens toward the ten-token limit.

Can I choose to pay tokens instead of using a matching card bonus? Official
No. Apply every matching bonus as an automatic discount first, then pay any remaining cost with tokens.

Does a colorless prestige card count toward the single-color victory?
No. Its points count toward your total prestige, but not toward any bonus-color column.
