Good job. I really like this one. :)

Black on the outside solves easily, and line logic with the green completes all of the green. At this point, the red can then be solved.

The problem is with the remaining 17x17 segment when you're down to just black remaining. There is a small amount of edge logic possible, but it doesn't give enough to be able to solve the rest of the puzzle. I used the "check" method instead of going to the solution, but it can't be done without that or peeking.
