Thank you, for the wonderful solution that works for puzzle.
Having said that, my original idea is to provide rules to human being to solve the puzzle with limited observation at a time. For example, simple observation that if it finds any color is occupied by only a single row or columns than all the other cell of that row or column are 'blanked'. simple rules. It is more about detecting small patterns in the data visually and provide an action associated with it. Pattern needs to be small enough to be identified visually. Thus, in other words, I am looking for helping hand algorithm rather than brute force solution. It is like see the 'X' if you can and do the 'Y'. In the end, solution will be there.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
