Lovely. :-(

Ditto #1.

I prefer less abstract art, but completely solvable by logic.

Putzing with solving this was somewhat rewarding but I prefer something worthwile as a result. I really don't see much of anything in this image.

I tried really hard to find this puzzle NOT solvable by logic alone, but, alas, in the end it was completely, logically solvable! : )

It DID inspire me to try to create a puzzle that looks like a hodgepodge of color, but ends up with a pleasing image. :)

Much prefer to solve an actual image

I'm with #1 and #2...for me this was not satisfying...or pleasant. It was more of a chore.

I needed edge logic at the end. Color logic worked but I was left with C5 R17/18 C7 R17-20 C9 R19/20 and 1, 2, 1 blue in each of the columns.

Line logic doesn't quite turn up anything but C7R20 blue gives a contradiction in C5. So this is moderate lookahead.

(My work is written out because of the nature of the puzzle. While I double checked my work and am pretty confident, it seems easy to slip up in these.)

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.
