A delightful puzzle! One frustration: I inserted the color names in rebus entries to the left of the color lines (could as well have been to the right). The app didn't credit the solution so I rechecked everything and found no errors. It was only when I read Caitlin's column that I learned that I should not have entered the color names at all. The app accepts alternate correct answers in other puzzles where the intended entry method isn't clear. It's too bad this one wasn't as forgiving.

Thanks for the link to "How to Solve the New York Times Crossword." I thought you'd want to know that the entire "Abbreviations" section of that article is repeated twice in a row, at least as it appears on my phone.
