Wow, lots of tricky color logic here. Or maybe I was just a bit asleep when I did this puzzle.

It's probably easier to do edge logic here instead, but if you want the challenge of where the color logic is ...

C2 has 3 possible blues. It must have a blue in R20 or R8 or R2. Since R2/R8 is a bad combo one blue is in R20. Then C2 R3-7 must be dots. Some line logic.

C17 you can place the blue 1 and 1 of the blue 2. Also the 3 in R17.

This also places a blue at C10R2. More importantly it places black square at C16R4 which is important for the next bit. If C19R5 is black then one of C18/20 R5 is black but it must be blue or a dot--2 way logic. Thus we placed the 1 in R4.

Line logic lets us resolve where the C17/20 R5/9 blue dots should be. Then line logic.

My immediate reaction was to look where to place the blues and I zoned in on that and forgot to poke at column 2 which is the key to solving relatively quickly though this still seems a well above average difficulty puzzle for line/color logic. I found it very interesting.
