Well, since your goal is just to add some visual appeal, you could consider
something like this: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/zebratables

Just set it once in your theme and give your table's some identifier so that
on page load they get styled automatically.

That beats trying to style all of your table rows by hand. Imagine if you
gave each row a different row style (row_odd, row_even) so that they could
be styled by css rules - then you wanted to add a row somewhere near the
top. You'd have to manually change all of your rules for the rows below it.
:-P
