Don't know if it was guessing.

It's deep lookahead, if it isn't guessing. Shame, because the picture is so lovely.
#3: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Dec 10, 2019 [HINT]
after i got what i think is all line and color logic (leaving a bunch of unknown green at the bottom), edge logic dotted C5R30...then it was line logic from there.
#4: Jota (jota) on Dec 10, 2019
I'll have to try that David!
#5: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Dec 11, 2019
i might've made a fortunate mistake early on jota...never know :/

Fun puzzle, beautiful image!

The missing step to make this logically solvable after David's steps above is to use two-way logic on the green 2 in row 21. No matter which of the two choices the green 2 takes, row 22 columns 8-10 are dots/white. Line logic solves the rest.

Initial line & color logic completes 81% with only green remaining.

David's and Eric's hints together will get this solved. It looks like they can be done in either order.
