Comment:

 Given that it was working in previous versions, I can hardly call this an
 "enhancement"; it is a major and serious defect, and it is causing me
 major problems and hours of hand editing HTML to maintain my site.

 I might add that it not only affects text color and HTML table background
 color pasted into the visual editor, it also trashes color when pasting
 Microsoft Word text into the Microsoft Word Insert box. So perhaps code
 from Word is cleaner, but it is also wrong.

 The "workaround" does not work because the HTML editor window introduces
 line breaks gratuitously in the text, basically wrecking layout in complex
 layouts. If HTML pasting worked, that would be one thing, but it generally
 does not.

 So in summary, it is broken and there is no workaround.
