Kevin’s newest piece of abstract artwork is eye-catching so far, but can you help him figure out how to use his four colors of paint to finish painting the rest of the artwork, while being aware of the borders between regions?
(Note: As an aid for solvers who are colorblind or who have black and white printers, the PDF, linked above, includes a second page with a black and white version of this puzzle, with shapes instead of colors.)
