Changing the font color of a QTableView after replacing the default editor with an ItemDelegate QTextEdit in PyQt5

Question

I am currently trying to add a multiline text editor to the PandasGUI application and have implemented the solution found here: Make row of QTableView expand as editor grows in height

I am using the qtstylish.dark() stylesheet for the application so I would like the text of the QTableview to be white. It is currently black and has been steadfastly resisting my efforts to change the text color.

The reimplemented paint function currently looks like this:

def paint(self, painter, option, index):
    # Remove dotted border on cell focus.  https://stackoverflow.com/a/55252650/3620725
    if option.state & QtWidgets.QStyle.State_HasFocus:
        option.state = option.state ^ QtWidgets.QStyle.State_HasFocus
    
    self.initStyleOption(option, index)
    painter.save()
    doc = QtGui.QTextDocument()
    doc.setDocumentMargin(2)
    doc.setTextWidth(option.rect.width())
    doc.setHtml(option.text)
    option.text = ""
    option.widget.style().drawControl(
        QtWidgets.QStyle.CE_ItemViewItem, option, painter)
    painter.translate(option.rect.left(), option.rect.top())
    doc.drawContents(painter)
    painter.restore()

Some of the things I have tried adding to the function:

painter.setPen(QColor(255, 255, 255, 200))
painter.setPen(QtGui.QPen(QtCore.Qt.white))
option.palette.setColor(QPalette.Normal, QPalette.Foreground, Qt.white)
doc.setDefaultStyleSheet('color: rgb(255, 255, 255);')

I have also tried reimplementing the drawContents and the initStyleOption function without finding success in changing the font color.
