Monochrome

It seems appropriate that I'm publishing this on a night we had a storm - it's so pleasantly gray!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Look and Say Cages - the digits on the upper left corner of a cage state how many of a certain digit appear inside the cage. For instance, a cage with 1322 in its upper left corner would have 1 3 digits and 2 2 digits.
- Palindromes - digits along a gray palindrome line read the same backwards and forwards.
- Ratio Kropki - digits separated by a black Kropki dot have a ratio of 2:1. No negative constraint.
- X pairs - digits separated by X sum to 10. No negative constraint.

Puzzle:
Solution code: Row 7 left to right

fun and approachable! I enjoyed how long the variant clues were meaningful, not too much filling in at the end.

@abadx ;D Exactly what happened to me. I almost lost my mind because it's always clashed with the 1417 cage.

On the top half of 1 star. Would have been easier if I had remembered box 5 cage was also a look and say and not a killer cage
