Found to be solvable by line and color logic alone by valerie.#5: Gator (gator) on Sep 22, 2020 [HINT]
Most of the puzzle is solved with line logic, but it requires a little advanced logic at the end.#6: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Sep 22, 2020
One way would be to look at R9 and imagine that the 2 1 clues go in C14 and C16. This forces R8-9C15 to be dots making C15 invalid. So R9C18 has to be black. LL to finish.

Hello!#9: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Sep 23, 2020 [HINT]
Thanks Gator!#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Oct 2, 2020 [HINT]
I went back and solved it again and indeed it does require advanced logic to finish it.
After LL, I used smile logic on the 3 in c14 - it must go in r6-8 or there wouldn't be room for the 1s in c15.#11: Gator (gator) on Oct 8, 2020
LL to finish.
Gator - this has odd dimensions - you mean r9 in your hint
Joe - thanks. Fixed.
