===Rules===

Kropki: Empty circles join consecutive digits. Not all possible dots are given.
Little killer sum: Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonals. (A is greater than B).

perfect colouring puzzle slightly more challenging than an XV, cause I had to make up new colouring patterns in my head lol.

Interestingly, I did not use the A & B constraints. Did I find a loophole ? :)
@ Iluvsodah, thanks for the solve and feedback.
I think you need to disambiguate the puzzle with A B constraints. Otherwise the grid is completely symmetric and there's no way to break the symmetry.
@Sumanta looking back at the grid I know where I messed up and will solve again without my error that ended up being lucky
@ Iluvsodah...best!!
