You could use sequence-index in conjunction with if to insert the color of
the row.  Hence (untested):

<table>
# Set a variable for the processing of the page
<dtml-var REQUEST.set(counter,0)>

<in mysequence>

# Flip it between 0 & 1
<dtml-if counter=0>
	<dtml-var REQUEST.set(counter,1)>
<dtml-else>
	<dtml-var REQUEST.set(counter,0)>
</dtml-if>

<TR
# Insert a color based on state of counter
<dtml-if counter>
	color=0x1
<dtml-else>
	color=0x2
</dtml-if>

	mystuff in table row
</TR>
</in>
</table>
