The text is using BeeLine Reader[1]. It tries to make reading faster by using that color gradient to guide the reader's eyes from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. I reads a little better with the blue and red coloring, compared to just the blue.

- aaronem 13y agoIt reads a lot better in a column width which can't be measured in positive integer miles. Unmaximize the window and you no longer need the color-cuing extension at all. (And the people responsible for the BeeLine Reader website know this! Even maximized, their body copy is split into two columns each about fifty characters wide.)
