Nice

Solved this with line and color logic only and it's a wonderful solve! I'm sure lookahead would have been easier, but I'd recommend trying it out strictly with L&C :)
Was temporarily stuck at 95% and then found the hold up:

- whether the black at C41R21 is part of the 1 or 2, C32R21 is a dot

Happy solving!

David, I ran out of line and color logic at 49%, any more hints?

From there I did:
EL on left 4 in R28: R28C3-7 is white
LL
EL on R28: in all cases, R27C3-6 is white
LL to finish

not exactly sure which 49% you have but that at least gives me a ballpark. how about this?

- whether the black at C14R10 is part of a 1 or the 2, C16R10 is a dot
