We have duplicated this issue and can add some data points.
255.0.0, 0.255.0, 0.0.255, 255.255.0, 255.0.255, 0.255.255, 255.255.255, and 0.0.0 all paste from Excel to Outlook with white fill. We don't care if 255.255.255 pastes as white because that is our intent. It looks like it's reading any full value in all RGB locations as 255, so 0=255 and 255=255. A fill value of 254.255.255 fills as 254.255.255. Whatever conversion that is happening is interpreting fully saturated or desaturated colors as 255.255.255
