Hello,
In Excel 2007, I find many standard color are no longer standard. For
example, blue is no longer 0000FF. What's the underlying reason?

Where are you putting or assigning that value?

In all versions of Excel and for most purposes in VB(A), 0000FF is red

colour value = B x 256^2 + G x 256 + R = &Hbbggrr

where R,G,B are values 0-255

HTML uses the opposite hex (ie byte) order, #rrggbb

Please execuse my ignorance of RGB format. What I meant in the post is that:
some Excel 2007 colors are no long standard.
