Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

The blue, red, and black solve out by color/line logic. You will only have a small section of green to finish out.

This is basically smile logic, but I thought it was interesting to note that R14-15C30 can only have one green cell. If you look at the rows, we need 4 green cells filled in. If you look at columns 31-33, you need 3 green cells filled in those columns. That leaves us with 1 green cell that can be filled in column 30. Therefore, R14C30 cannot be green as it would force 2 green cells in the upper portion of column 30. So R15C30 is the green cell.

Nice smile logic at the end :)
