Note that if the spell with overload is dealing damage, protection from that spell's color will still prevent that damage.
Street Spasm
Because a spell with overload doesn't target when its overload cost is paid, it may affect permanents with hexproof or with protection from the appropriate color.
If you are instructed to cast a spell with overload "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to pay its overload cost instead.
