Thanks for your question, Jason.
Your example is scored very similarly to <SE7>, but with one fewer Connected Pins (-1 point) and one 3-color Stack reduced to a 2-color Stack (-10 point change). The total score for the pictured scenario would be 110 points.
The color of the bottom Pin in this scenario does not affect how it is scored. The Stack on the bottom of this structure already gets the Matching Goal bonus because it's Connected to a Beam, and each Stack can only earn one Matching Goal bonus (even if it meets both criteria simultaneously).
