Steps to reproduce

  1. Enble HTML in "Text formats to copy to clipboard"
  2. Copy text
  3. Paste it in OneNote or Word in a box with the same background as the terminal.

Expected Behavior

The colors should look exactly the same given the same background.

Actual Behavior

OneNote seems to change the colors to dimmer ones. If I then fix the colors in OneNote and copy it agian, they don't change.

Note sure what in the format makes OneNote change the colours. Examples:

The more interesting bitis that if I copy it from Word it also gets changed, but not if I fix the in OneNote and then copy and paste them.

I closed it by mistake :-( If somebody could reopen this, that'd be nice.

Unfortunately, that's probably what we were going to do anyway unless somebody can come along and point out how we're generating our HTML incorrectly. I see that the colors are all there, intact, unmodified, before OneNote decides to destroy them.
