Anything's possible. While you're walking through the resultset of the query to build the table, you can keep a counter and a variable $color and use it like

$counter = 0;
for every_result {
    if ($counter%2) {
        $color = "black";
    } else {
        $color = "white";
    }
    $tablerow = "<tr bgcolor=\"$color\">".doSomeStuff()."</tr>";
    print $tablerow;
    $counter++;
}

I know 'for every_result' is not correct PHP, but I forgot the exact syntax 😉
