One of the Two

I placed a bunch of constraints in my puzzle but I was stupid enough to use the same colors for similar looking constraints. Can you help me check if the puzzle is still solvable? The rules are listed below, with rule clarifications listed further down the page. Thanks, and sorry...
Rules:
- Sudoku: Fill all empty cells with a digit from 1-9 such that all rows, columns and marked 3x3 regions contain no repeated digits.
- Cages: One Cage is a Killer Cage, the other one is a Look-and-say Cage.
- Orange Dots: One of the dots is a white Kropki dot, the other one is a black Kropki dot.
- Y: One of the Y's separate two digits that sum to 5, the other separate two digits that sum to 10.
- Diagonals: Along one of the blue diagonals digits may not repeat, the other one is a Region Sum Line.
- Red Lines: One red line is a Renban line, the other one is a German Whispers line.
- Grey Bulb One of the lines connected to the grey bulb is a Thermometer, the other one is an Arrow.
- Gray Triangles: One orientation of the grey triangles (pointing up/down) contain even digits, the other orientation contain odd digits.
- Dark Blue Lines: One dark blue line is a Palindrome, the other one is a Modular Line
- Green Bulbs and Lines: One green line is a Between Line, the other one is a Double Arrow.
Rule clarifications:
- Killer Cage: Digits in a cage sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
- Look-and-Say Cage: When read out loud, the clue in the top left corner of the cage indicate what digits are contained within (for example, a '15' clue reads 'one five' so the Cage must contain one five).
- Kropki dots: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio (one is double the other).
- Region Sum Line: Region borders divide this line into segments where the digits in every segment sum to the same total.
- Renban: Digits on this line form a contiguous set of unique digits in any order.
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits along this line must differ by 5 or more.
- Thermometer: Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end.
- Arrow: Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached bulb.
- Palindrome: Digits along this line must read the same from either end of the line.
- Modular Line: Any run of three digits along this line must have different remainders when divided by 3 (meaning they must contain one digit from {1, 4, 7}, one from {2, 5, 8} and one from {3, 6, 9}).
- Between Line: Digits along the line must be strictly greater than one of the digits in the connected bulbs, and strictly smaller than the other.
- Double Arrow: Digits on the line must have the same sum as the digits in the bulbs.
Ratings and comments are very much appreciated. Thank you for playing!

The worst part of the puzzle is I can't play it for the first time again. 3* for me though, I never felt too lost but took some thinking.

That's a nice compliment, thank you for playing!
