guessed the basic image early, but enjoyed the tag line when I was finally done#4: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Sep 24, 2021 [SPOILER]

After the initial line/color logic, all of the red and most of the green will be filled in.#12: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Feb 24, 2022
Just focusing on the blue color, one can use edge logic in R6 to make R6C34-35 dots. Color/line logic finishes off the green and blue.
EL in C29 makes R10-12C29 dots. LL.
EL in R20 makes R20C9-11 dots. LL.
No matter how C40 is filled in, R15C39 is always a dot. LL.
EL in C30 makes R10C30 a dot. LL.
2 way logic on R11 makes R12C30 black and R12C32 a dot. LL.
2 way logic on the left 2 in R13 makes R14C30,32-33 dots. Likewise, 2 way logic on the right 2 in R13 makes R14C36-37 dots. LL.
No matter how C29 is filled in, R15C30 will be a dot. LL.
Focus on how R20 is affected. 2 way logic on either 2 clue in R13 will force both R20C29 and R20C40 to be dots. LL to finish.
Not sure if all of this is required or not.
Nice puzzle!
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#13: Manuel Parras (Manuel Parras) on Nov 30, 2023
