Skittles

This puzzle is my fourth round of the March Madness Speed Setting Competition held on the Sudoku Skunkworks discord server. I had to create a puzzle within 90 minutes using two main constraints; one of my choosing and one selected by my opponent Microstudy.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Remote Ambiguous Pairs: A coloured circle in a cell indicates that the digit N in the cell with the circle and the digit in the Nth cell in the orthogonal direction of the circle (where N=1 is the cell directly next to the clue) must adhere to one of four rules dictated by the colour of the circle. Each colour uniquely corresponds to one of these four constraints: X, V, Black Kropki and White Kropki. Which colour corresponds to which constraint must be determined by the solver. There are no negative constraints.
The puzzle is available online via CTC-App
Solution code: Row 7

Very funny puzzle with a nice setup that enables quickly to distinguish which color does what. And after that it flows really well, without any hesitation until the finish.
It is a shame that a nice, approachable and well constructed puzzle as this is only solved so few times...
