I tried reproducing this on the latest version of Emacs, 26.2, but was
unable to.  The colors after "print <<EOF;" seemed fine to me.

Could you please try reproducing this with the latest version of Emacs?

Please also provide more details on what colors are wrong -- on what
line, which color you see and which you would have expected instead.

Thanks,
Stefan Kangas
