Getting Even in an Odd Way

Here's where you can attempt Oddly Enough Even Dots Help by DC: https://sudokupad.app/hignojf8ll Normal sudoku rules apply. A digit in a grey square is even. A digit in a grey circle is odd. There is a maximum of 2 consecutive even or odd cells in any horizontal or vertical direction. Digits in cells joined by a green dot are the same parity (both odd or both even). Digits in cells joined by a red dot are the opposite parity (one odd, one even). Digits in cells joined by a white dot are consecutive. On a black dot, one digit is double the other. A clue outside the grid gives the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal using only cells of the same parity as the first cell, eg. if R1C2 is odd, the sum of all odd cells on that diagonal is 16.
