Taking notes as I go; currently this is incomplete and I'm not sure whether any of it's superfluous.#9: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Feb 14, 2022 [SPOILER]
EL C30 eliminates R12. LL.
C18-19: If either of these have R16 filled in, it causes a contradiction in R13. After filling R13 for both of those, you can see that if the blue in R13C14 is part of the 3, it causes a contradiction in C16. LL.
EL C1 eliminates R21.
R26: The 1 clue must be in either C5 or C8 based on options for R27.
(Those last 2 don't seem to yield any additional LL but I'm going to have to come back to this puzzle later and don't want to forget what I've already done to it.)

Really nice puzzle! Enjoyed the solve...thanks!#11: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Jan 30, 2024 [HINT]
To finishe Wombat's logic, I placed the 3 in C1 in r17-19, r16-18, r15-17 and got quick contradictions. That placed a blue at C1R14. LL.#12: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 30, 2024
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.
