You can try \pagecolor{white}. I can't test with the given MWE as it does not compile as is. — Peter Grill, Oct 15 '21 at 00:04
Please add a compilable minimal working example which does include all the packages and definitions necessary to compile your code — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jul 12 '22 at 18:21

Not an answer because you have not supplied code that can be compiled, but a typing error could be a possibility.

Example code, beginning with \documentclass and ending with \end{document}, will be needed to answer the question.

It compiles OK when I made up some of the missing code and ran under Lualatex in TexLive2020 - which means the cause of the black is likely inside your code, or because packages etc are not updated, or because of the PDF viewer (or a combination of these). Or maybe some other reason.

So therefore: to get a working example, what I did was this - I made up some colour definitions at random, copied \acrarrow definition from here Simplest way to create a ring diagram in tikz with multiple connected rings? , and arctext definition from somewhere else I can't remember, added adjustbox package, ...:
