Paint by Numbers
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
The caged region is the 'palette'. Within the palette, no two orthogonal cells can have a domino relationship.
Domino clues:
- XV: Cells connected by an X or a V sum to 10 or 5 respectively
- White dot: Cells connected by a white dot are consecutive
- Black dot: Cells connected by a black dot have a 2:1 ratio
The coloured circles are the 'paint'. The grey lines in each box must be 'painted' either pink, yellow or green. The colour of the line in box 'N' is determined by the colour of the circle behind digit 'N' in box 1 (e.g. if 4 in box 1 was placed in a cell containing a pink circle, the grey line in box 4 would be painted pink).
The following rules apply to 'painted' lines:
- Green: German Whisper - neighbouring digits differ by at least 5
- Pink: Renban - Digits make up a consecutive set in any order
- Yellow: Entropic - Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low digit (1,2,3), a middle digit (4,5,6), and a high digit (7,8,9)

Saw you had another puzzle just on the verge of getting an official rating, glad that did it! I can sure imagine it took a lot of work putting this together -- just the palette is pretty much a puzzle in itself, and a difficult one indeed, let alone having a grid where the lines they point to clearly read as actual digits :-) And even that lone kropki dot did work early in the solve, which was unexpected -- well done!

I found this difficult (but fun!) to break into, and the solve path after that was beautiful and interesting. Very nice work getting the lines to interact with one another the way you did!

The break in is tough, but it is instantly rewarded and the puzzle flows like a work of art afterwards

Very complicated rules! But a fun theme and intriguing solve. Must have taken a LOT of work to put this together!

Weil die Regeln etwas komplex sind hier ein Hinweis auf deutsch:
Innerhalb der Palette (Killer Käfig) dürfen orthogonal benachbarte Ziffern keine der genannten Bedingungen für Dominos erfüllen - sozusagen eine regional begrenzte negative Bedingung.

Painted line section of rules was incorrectly labelled 'domino clues'
