Thanks for a lucky entry! Actually it only has 2 solutions, the correct one was obvious to me.

Bugaboo. You must be going through some of my old puzzles.

In reference to the solution of the image puzzle: Multiple solutions puzzles aren't PBN puzzles. In PBN puzzles, the hidden picture must not play part in the solving process. Thus, the goal is to get the picture in accordance with the clues, not to guess what the author has in mind.

Martha, Martha, Martha! The solution to the puzzle is just fine and does not require guessing. It is the puzzle within the puzzle that has multiple solutions. Since the theme of this particular WCP, I believe, was NUMB3RS it is very easy to intuit the solution to this 4x5 grid as (spoiler alert) a blue 7.

Brian, Brian, Brian! As I said, my comment refers to "the solution of the image puzzle", which is exaclty "the puzzle within the puzzle".
