very fun solve
no guessing

line/color logic to solve all the red/blue/green and some of the black (in fact c19-c40 will be completely solved at this point except for 2 black 1 pixels in c28 and c32)

edge logic on the black 5 clue in r31 and edge logic on the black 5 clue in r23 will give you a little more, but most importantly it will give you an "edge" to do edge logic on the 5 clue in r27 (this now lets you line solve a lot more)

then i used affirmation or two-way logic in r2-3 with c3-4 (r2 cant have dots in both c3-4 so at least one [or both] of them is black [however they cant both be black because it would force r3 to have a black pixel in both c3 and c4 when it can only have a single pixel but this is irrelevant]); whichever one it is will force the 1 from r3 into that same column so you can dot the rest of r3 except for c3 and c4

line logic solves the rest
