I got to 99% with logic (with some moderate lookahead - a bit of IEL and maybe one instance of 2-way logic), but then got stuck with the last few blue and green bits. "Picture logic" helped me from there to arrive at the intended solution.

Kitty - this was otherwise a good puzzle except for the multiple solutions. Please use the solution checker when creating your puzzle as it can tell you whether there are multiple solutions. I also recommend solving your own puzzle before publishing it.

Looking forward to your next puzzle.

I agree with Michael, this is a great first puzzle except for the solvability. When you use the solution checker, it can even show you one of the alternate solutions, and that can give you an idea of where you might need to make adjustments. The open section on the right gives the puzzle a good look but that's probably also what's giving it multiple solutions. Unfortunately making something solvable sometimes means making it look a little less like how you wanted it to look.

I'm stuck at 99%, which is a pity.
