This was one of the most challenging for me because it was my first crease elimination in a color image and also one with the worst color to work with. B&W is easier.
Getting the color was a big problem. Poor monitor/scanner calibration greatly impeded my efforts on all my restoration from the very beginning.
At that time I mistakenly thought I had to match the color temp of my monitor to my ambient light which was a 3000K incandescant bulb. All my edits made the numbers look blue but the preview looked correct on my monitor. I had to start all over getting the color right after properly calibrating.
One of the main reasons it took me nearly 80 hours for each of these 1998-1999 restorations posted in my gallery.

First, a very nice restoration. You did well with all the elements. Again, I like it the way you left it, without any additional colorization.
Second, wow.... 80 hours is quite a dedicated effort for each image. I can't say I've done that. But, I understand about the color management problem. Glad you got that fixed.

There was no painting in of color or airbrushing. It was all curves and profile processing where I'ld assign wide color space profiles to sRGB written images, convert and assign again to get the color where I wanted.
Hue/Saturation edits kept amplifying the noise and I was stuck with only two hues for each color.
I was doing a lot of experimenting back then that made up some of the 80 hours I spent on these.
