Not that I would ever cut and paste code. I'm really asking this for a friend :)

I don't know if it can be set in Eclipse - I suspect not (I've looked and not found it). What works for me is to paste to an editor that doesn't accept the colours, such as Notepad, and then copy from there and paste in the destination. A little tedious (but it works!), I know, so I'll be watching this to see if someone else has a better solution. ;)
