In the framed portion of this website different categories of pages have different colors. These match the colors used for the links to the right of the poem's lines. This serves as a navigational aid; its a hint as to what you are reading. Also, because there are so many small pages and they can show up in a couple of different frames, a change in colors helps notify you that a new page has been downloaded and where it is displayed.
The colors are considered to be "web safe colors." I'm going to let the Web Developers Journal explain why web safe colors are good:
What Are Web Safe Colors?
Web Safe, or Browser Safe palettes as they are also referred to, consist of 216 colors that display solid, non-dithered, and consistent on any computer monitor, or web browser, capable of displaying at least 8-bit color (256 colors). The reason why this palette contains only 216 colors, instead of the maximum 256 colors, is that only 216 out of the basic 256 colors will display exactly the same on all computers.

Why are they so ugly? Because the colors are determined by mathmatical values instead of by someone's judgement as to beauty. If you look at the color values listed below you will see only values of 00, 33, 66, 99, CC or FF being used for each color value given as a set of RGB (red, green, blue) combinations.
These are the colors used as backgrounds at this site:
