Fantastic puzzle, Brian.

I was able to solve this with logic alone, no guessing. Here's how:

I did line logic as far as I could. When I got stuck, I noticed that the possible placements of the red and green in R15 gave me a clue for the black in C8. That showed me where to color in just one more black, and then I was able to move forward with line logic and color logic.

At the end, I could see the color logic for the reds in Rows 9-11.

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

Ditto #4. I got to the lips last as well, and solved it with smile logic. Jan, I was able to place the 7 to either extreme in row 11, without creating a contradiction for row 9.
At that point, I had 9 out of the 11, and 11 of the 13 filled in in rows 6/7, and all of the 11 in row 10 filled in. Did I miss something else?

That was a great image and a fun puzzle.

#5 - If you tried to place the 7 clue in row 11 too far to the left or right, you would end up with 4 or more reds in a row on row 9 (which cannot be as it needs "3 3"). Not sure how you were not able to create a contradiction on row 9.
