Nice solve.

When line and color logic run out, look at the 3s in c2&4 vs the 2 in r3. Both of the 3s cannot go up into r3 because of the 2, so at least one of the 3s must go down into r6.

Now some affirmation/two-way logic. Since we know at least one of those 3s go into r6:
-- If c2's goes into r6, then r6c2-4 are black (due to the 5 in r6)
-- If c4's goes into r6, then (of course) r6c4 is black.

Either way, r6c4 is black. Then line (and a bit of color) logic to finish.

Fun logic. No guessing.

i found to be logically solvable with moderate lookahead. No guessing required. Nice one.
