I prefer less abstract art, but completely solvable by logic.#4: Byrdie (byrdie) on Mar 13, 2011 [SPOILER]

I tried really hard to find this puzzle NOT solvable by logic alone, but, alas, in the end it was completely, logically solvable! : )#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 29, 2014
It DID inspire me to try to create a puzzle that looks like a hodgepodge of color, but ends up with a pleasing image. :)#7: Christine Freer (cfreer) on Aug 16, 2023
Much prefer to solve an actual image#8: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Aug 17, 2023
I'm with #1 and #2...for me this was not satisfying...or pleasant. It was more of a chore.#9: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Jan 14, 2024 [HINT]
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.#10: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 14, 2024
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.
