Which you should have done anyway.  According to MSDN:


Clipboard Formats
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/dataexchange/clipboard/clipboardformats.asp


When copying bitmaps, it is best to place the CF_DIB or CF_DIBV5 format on
the clipboard. This is because the colors in a device-dependent bitmap
(CF_BITMAP) are relative to the system palette, which may change before the
bitmap is pasted. If the CF_DIB or CF_DIBV5 format is on the clipboard and a
window requests the CF_BITMAP format, the system renders the
device-independent bitmap (DIB) using the current palette at that time.

If you place the CF_BITMAP format on the clipboard (and not CF_DIB), the
system renders the CF_DIB or CF_DIBV5 clipboard format as soon as the
clipboard is closed. This ensures that the correct palette is used to
generate the DIB. If you place the CF_DIBV5 format with the bitmap color
space information in the clipboard, the system will convert the bitmap bits
from the bitmap color space to the sRGB color space when CF_DIB or CF_DIBV5
is requested. If CF_DIBV5 is requested when there is no color space
information in the clipboard, the system returns sRGB color space
information in the BITMAPV5HEADER structure. Conversions between other
clipboard formats occur upon demand.
