This issue happens in Word when pasting. Pasting as picture shows correct colors. Pasting in Dark Mode makes the red and yellow change hue, green and blue unaffected.
I have also tried that with copying on microsoft word but still its not working but only for red and yellow color. For all other colors its working completely fine.
i copied excels to microsoft outlook and i couldnt copy them with yellow color.
I have the same problem. Copying a table with colored shading from Excel to either Outlook or Word results in some correct colors and others that are missing or changed. This occurs with all paste options except for as picture. The same table pasted into Publisher or Powerpoint retains the colors. Also can paste into a Word file using the online Word option and colors are retained so just occurs when running my local app on Windows 10 laptop. Does not appear to be an issue on the other Windows 10 laptop in my household, which appears to be running the same up to date version of Excel. This just began today (there was an automatic update yesterday but don't know the content), however, I probably haven't performed this action for several weeks. Excel would not run in safe mode. I tried to do a repair and did not help. Then tried to do an online repair and the office 365 installation disappeared and I had to reinstall from the online support account. Office 365 is back but same problem exists with the missing colors. Would appreciate any other suggestions to correct. TY
One other note, if you insert a table into word and choose the excel option when doing that and then paste into that table then it retains the colors, however, if you then copy what was pasted into that table in word and paste into the main body of word then the coloring is again messed up.
20230410 UPDATE - I have not seen any response from MS. Several days ago via the Excel application I clicked on Feedback and selected the "I don't like something" icon and described the issue and referred them to this community portal under the original title "Excel copy paste in outlook not show color". Perhaps if others did the same that could help draw their attention to the problem. :-)

Hey yall,
Been having this same issue as well for the past week. I've found that the ONLY fix so far is to use a slightly different hue of the color you want and copy and paste works. Rather frustrating, as this is just a workaround that requires me to change the conditional formatting of myriad reports--but it's a workaround nonetheless. WYA, Microsoft Support?
