Coloring puzzle? I had to birfurcate slightly to make any meaningful deductions.
It's a shame, because this puzzle was highly rated and I think I missed on some of the beauty of it. I enjoyed it, however.

What a puzzle, congrats @purpl for the brilliant idea and setting. I definitely agree with you, the interactions between German whispers and odd/even parity are beautiful and definitely worth exploring :-)
