Puzzle Description:

Om-nom and a candy from the game "Cut The Rope" by "ZeptoLab"

All but four of the red (two sets of two) are able to be placed with color logic. Then all of the green can be. That just leaves the black (since the placement of the black will determine the placement of the remaining red).

And there really seems to be nowhere to start on the black.

A few small things can be done, like

edge logic on the 7 in r28 makes c21-22 white.

And then, on that same seven - look at columns 26-28. There must be a black 1 under each red in those columns. Now, they might be part of this 7, or they could be in r37 or 38. Note, however, that there are only two black pixels unaccounted for in r37-38, so at least one of the pixels in r28c26-28 is black. And that means that r28c28 is black (because no matter which of the three you picked, it would make this one be black).

And even with this, we've only gotten three black and a handful of white pixels. On a puzzle this size, I grow weary of searching and am mighty tempted to mark it DEFINITELY GUESSING.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is some guessing required on this one. I could solve it easily making two assumptions based on the picture, but like Joe, I grew tired of looking for places to use actual logic.

Seven years with no suggestions, so this is "some guessing needed"

Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.
