Very fun, original puzzle. Restarted 3x, found my error. After hours and hours of colouring the actual numbers took about 2 minutes

Took me 8 hours and had to start over 3 times, but I got it! I should probably be more careful in checking I am removing the correct colour...

Wow, just wow. This is one of those puzzles that makes you think ”I hope I haven’t made a silly mistake or I will cry”. No tears this time, but it took quite a while. Humbled in the presence of much higher intellect.

Loved the interactions with thermos in a coloring puzzle, thanks for sharing!

Fun puzzle with some neat sneaky logic! Made me work harder than most coloring puzzles, and kept me thinking the whole time. Thanks for the puzzle!
(As a solver, I just use the pen tool and go over the palindromes in a different color. I also put circles on thermo bulbs. Y’all need to utilize the pen tool.)

I really like the logic in these knight/thermo puzzles, but I agree with the other comments that it was quite hard to keep the thermos distinct from the palindromes. Had to restart the puzzle twice because of a mixup, so maybe indeed different colored lines would help prevent this next time. But anyways a very enjoyable puzzle!

Love the puzzle,
but I really don't like the thermos in a colouring puzzle;
it took quite a few color-iterations and adjusting to get a at least any visibility of the bulb.
at first the thermos simply looked like yet another palindrome when colored in.
and that the lines hide the colours doesn't help much either
aaaanyways... technicalities,
it worked, I had to look twice, feel the screen and enable audio description but I made it through, and I enjoyed the puzzle a lot
thank you!

Brilliant! I really loved how the anti-knight and thermos worked together.

It's a coloring puzzle, where you fill the grid with colors, and underneath that there are grey lines that are palindromes and grey lines that are thermometers. The first time I realized I'd confused a palindrome with a thermometer and messed up the puzzle, I started over. The second time, I didn't. I'd use two different colors! Or something.
