This puzzle cools down the difficulty of last week's Hot Core with the help of an old favourite rule of mine. I hope you enjoy!

Ruleset:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Each of the main diagonals forms a complete set of the digits 1-9.
- Turquoise (orange) thermometers restrict only even (odd) digits. That is, on a turquoise thermometer, the even digits strictly increase from the bulb end, and likewise for odd digits on an orange thermometer. Digits of the unrestricted parity can go anywhere and in any order on a thermometer.
- Thermometers are strictly dominated by digits of the restricted parity. E.g. a 6 cell orange thermometer must have at least 4 odd digits.
