Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

After the initial color/line logic, about 2/3 of the puzzle will be completed with all of the green and red cells filled in.

Two way logic on the 2 clue at R2C8 makes it so that either R1C8-10 or R3C8-10 will be black. Because of this, we can make R6-7C9-10 and R8C10 dots. LL to finish.

Nice puzzle!
