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.
