ll/cl finishes all colors but the blue in the middle right.

easy edge logic on the 5 in r14 makes c23-24 white. LL

internal edge logic on that 5: if it were to go in c15-19, then there would be no room for the 2 in r15. So c15r14 is white. LL

two-way logic on the 1 in 15:
>if it goes in r15 then r15c16 is blue.
>if it goes in r13, then r13c16 is white forcing the 2 in c16 into r14-15
either way, r15c16 is blue

Then line logic to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
