Multi Colors
Simple Colors with two or more separate chains for the same digit.
Color several chains of strong links for one digit, each with its own two colors. Exactly one color per chain is true. Two rules link the chains:
Type 2: if a cell of one color sees cells of both colors of another chain, that color cannot be true (one of the other chain's colors has to be, and the cell would clash with it). Remove the digit from all cells of that color. Type 1: if two cells of different chains see each other, those two colors cannot both be true, so one of the two other colors is. Any cell that sees both of those other colors loses the digit.
