I think it’s simply that:

There are an even total number of orange, green and yellow. Or, equivalently, leaving out cyan leaves an even number of squares.

How I got to this:

The single cyan and single orange showed that one of those two colours was important in the rule. Looking, there was a lot of cyan, so I decided to see what would happen if I ignored it, giving this answer.

    $\begingroup$ But the 7th (from top) on the right side has 4 greens? $\endgroup$ Oct 1, 2018 at 8:12
  • $\begingroup$ @u_ndefined still, 4th from top has zero non-cyan. Zero is even too. $\endgroup$ Oct 1, 2018 at 10:35
  • $\begingroup$ @Plarsen there isn’t much contrast between the two colours but the fourth and seventh from the top on the right side have one and three greens respectively. $\endgroup$
