Very nice puzzle, especially when you remember the negative constraint!

I found this to be (at least for me) the easiest of your four delightful Parity Party puzzles, but also probably my favorite so far! It was a very smooth solve and I particularly enjoyed the coloring process on this one.

After solving I read about the negative constraint. Had completely forgotten about it. Still very solvable. Thank you!

Totally forgot about the negative constraint and still managed to solve it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Enjoyed the logic.
