Since XL can only display the 56 colors in the color palette, using

Cells(1, 1).Interior.Color = RGB(63, 127, 255)

will choose the "closest" color in the palette.

You can change one of the colors in the palette to include your color:

ActiveWorkbook.Colors(37) = RGB(63, 127, 255)

You can then assign the color using the ColorIndex property:

Cells(1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 37
