I think it's a birthday party placemat, or a colorful ticket to a Mardi Gras ball!#2: Georgia Wren (teachno11) on Feb 19, 2009

The color logic to start is really hard here! Well, it was for me. So I can see people using edge logic.
But it was fun to hunt down a line/color logic way.
Blue borders to 39% with minimal color logic
R3C9-10 green since R3C6 and R3C13 can't be green
R5C9-10 blue since R5C6 and R5C13 can't be blue
R7C10 must be a dot, and if R7C9 is blue, then R6C9 is red,a contradiction. So it is a dot too.
Now R9C4 can't be green, so R9C2 is green. The helper doesn't note the R8C11 can't be blue, but once you do, the helper solves the puzzle.
