I saw that you had provision in print_note_color for reverting color.  But I
never saw any code elsewhere that called print_note_color with no rgb value
to call that reversion.

I would recommend that you consider replacing \override with \once
\override, and junk the \revert.  But I'm certainly not an expert in
MusicXML.
