I think it's all LL solvable, but I have a hard time solving my own puzzles because I know what it is :/

I like the composition because it tells a good story.

I love it! Enjoyed the solve too.

Initial line & color logic solves 66%. Red and green are complete.

R5: EL on the black 3 marks C11 black. Resulting line & color logic finishes the black and gets some good progress on the blue.

C4: EL marks R7 blue. LL.

R2: EL places the blue 4 in either C5-8 or in C9-12. Either of these puts blue in R3C7. LL.

C12: Whether R2 or R4 is blue, R2C10 will be blue.

LL to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.

Line and color logic got me to to 81%. Then some edge logic on the blue.

Then line and color logic to 86%.

The 4 in row can only go in columns 5-8 or columns 9-12. If it's in columns 5-8, the first 3 in row 3 must be in columns 5-7, while if it's in columns 9-12, that 3 must be in columns 7-9. Either way, that 3 includes column 7.

Then line and color logic to only 87%.

Then I got stuck, looked at hints here, and Wombi's final hint turned row 2 column 10 blue.

Line and color logic from there.

Fun solve!! Line & color got me to 83% :)

Very fun solve!
