The color scheme for WikiAnswers may seem strange, but it is actually a perfect example of a triadic color scheme.

Color is often arranged in a circle, with the colors arranged in order based on the relationship of the colors to each other.

The three main colors on WikiAnswers are approximately Blue, Red-orange, and Green-yellow. If you find these colors on a color wheel and draw a line between them, you will create an equilateral triangle. Therefore, the WikiAnswers site is a textbook example of a triadic color scheme.

So why does it seem weird? Triadic color schemes can be overwhelming, after all they use three colors that don't have much in common.

Is that still not it? The designers of the WikiAnswers graphics have added gradients on the buttons and navigation bar, and shades of the main colors in the backgrounds of titles, tabs, and boxes of interest, which makes the design more unique. These details aren't focused on the main color scheme, but could explain why the colors seem "weird".
