Puzzle Description:

Try reading the color names

Reading the color names is easy. Saying what color the letters are is the hard part. Try saying them fast. The only people who can say the names of the colors fast are preschoolers because they can't read yet.

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 :)
