Hello, enjoy this puzzle!
All feedback and comments will be much appreciated!
This is one for fans of colouring puzzles. :)
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Grey lines are palindromes and must read the same in both directions. Additionally, adjacent digits along palindromes must alternate in parity (odd/even).
- Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
Solution code: Row 4 followed by row 6.

I would say hard for this one. There are a few difficult tricks to find: really beautiful anyway: the palindroms are really powerful.
An advice for everyone: choose wisely which cells you select for colors.

Wow, very nice, thanks for sharing.
Probably missed some trick, because it felt much harder than 3 stars and took few hours to solve.
I am starting to realize that there are quite a few levels of intelligence above me. Next level up are those who solve these in 30 minutes. Next level up are those who set these puzzles. And then there are couple similar levels with 4&5 star puzzles.
Makes me humble :)
