Hardest puzzle I've solved

This was posted last year but I just found it through the last Colours in the (K)night series, and omg, this was incredibly difficult to me. Not really because of the logic jumps needed to follow, I found those in a good time for a 3-star puzzle, but the coloring got *crazy*. I had to restart it 4 times because I kept finding errors in my coloring way into the late game and it was too cumbersome to trace back.
In total I took 3 days to finally finish it in 40ish minutes on the last try, but I had to be annoyingly and painfully diligent on the removal of colors. That's my advice for any future amateur solvers tackling this sudoku.
Amazing puzzle!

that looked unsolvable (to me that is) for a very long time... then I saw a glimpse of hope and that bicolored pair in box 2 row 3 suddenly became resolved elsewhere and then just a bit later exactly as faltenin mentioned I crossed my fingers... that was fun, thank you

That moment when you finally enter all the digits in one swoop and cross your fingers...
