I also got a deadly pattern and didn't notice the negative constraint until I read the comments.
and yes, the negative constraint solves the deadly pattern.

This is my favorite ending of.a Will Power Puzzle. Great use of the negative constraint to resolve it.

@VeTaurus I ran into the same problem, but with @Snaques's hint, it was possible to pick the "right" pairing. Consider: r1c3 is white, not red. One possible resolution would have made it eligible to be red, so that's the wrong one.

@Snaques: Thanks for the hint. But I still don´t get it. Since it is not necessary for the solution code, it makes no difference ;-)

@VeTaurus, I think the two pairs in the end are solved through the negative constraint "All possible green, red and blue cells are shown."
The puzzle was nize, but a bit hectic for my taste.

Somehow I end up with two possible solutions. I have two pairs in r1c4 / r1c5 and r6c4 / r6c5 that can be solved both ways. F-Puzzles shows both solutions as correct and the "difference rule" for r7c5 is also fulfilled.

Great puzzle! Thank you for sharing! The forum badly needs more 1 star puzzles.

I don't normally do coloured puzzles because I prefer to colour myself. This was ok though and still very easy.
I think I'd have preferred to have "+", "-" "+/-" in the corners of the cells instead of colours.
Still a quick, fun Sunday morning puzzle.
