Nice vibranium :)

No guessing, just color logic

can't see the bottom finish

I don't think I guessed either, but will wait for the experts.

Fair enough. I suppose I can't just assume the pattern continues all the way around.

It is safe to assume symmetry on the blue, based on the way the clues are distributed, to place the blue 1s and 2s in rows 8 and 9, in order to place the blues at the center of rows 11 and 12.

I don't think you can place the red successfully without centering the 5s in rows 13 and 15. So, it's sort of symmetry by default.

after initial line/color logic (you should have all of the blue and most of the red filled in, except for a little at the bottom):

whether the 1 clue from c3 goes in r13 or r14, r13c4 is always a dot

similarly, whether the 1 clue from c13 goes in r13 or r14, r13c12 is always a dot (but you only need to use one of these steps)

ll to finish
no guessing

Nice clean image. I enjoyed the solve. Great job, Gustaf.

Ha, I did it as bugaboo, but I thought "whether the i clue from c3 goes in r13 or r14, r14c4 is always red."

Very nice image/size ratio and the blue color logic was quite interesting.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.
