The cube is covered with 24 (4 to a face) 45, 45, 90 deg triangles. These triangles have there hypotenuse along the edge of the cube and their 90 deg apex at the center of the center cubie. Each opposite face has the same coloring except that the rotation of the colors is opposite. For example if the front face has a green, orange, yellow and red triangle in clockwise order then in order for the rear face to correspond it has a color rotation that is counter clockwise. The coloring scheme is that the top and bottom triangles on the side faces (ie, front, right, left, back) are the same. Six colors ( green, orange, yellow , red for the front and rear, and green, white,yellow,blue for the sides and white, orange, blue, red for the top and bottom) are used and there are 4 triangles of each color. I think this is an accurate description, if there are questions please ask I have my cube at my desk.
