Colours can invoke feelings and designers play on that, but most ignore all those other meanings that are posted all over the internet. If you were to go by that, you'd be afraid to use most colours for fear of upsetting someone. It's silly. You might want to be careful on the use of red though. For instance, I designed an aviation safety report once. I specifically avoided red because of the industry. Red can signify danger, and you don't want to invoke those kind of feelings around aviation and safety.

Blue is neutral, calm and easy on the eyes. It will look good in the background against other media. That's why a lot of sites opt to use it. Basically, it's safe.
