Puzzles #558, #559 & #560 - Light and Shadow

In hanging out in VC with jkittykitkat in the days after the Logic Puzzle Open, a topic of what genres should be made more came up. I suggested Light and Shadow and then there were suddenly some 5x5 puzzles using question mark clues. So... I decided to take a stab at using them myself, and with antisymmetric placements of a given value of one color and a question mark of the other. I quickly found a 5x5 with three 3s almost worked, and then a 6x6 with four 4s did. 7x7 with five 5s felt extremely possible but it took me quite a while to find a layout that did. I tried continuing the pattern farther but 6s proved a bit untenable, though you'll see that tomorrow.
