Hi,

If you only speak of two colors, it's quite easy in the template system I use (and I guess, even easier on standard Template systems).
I create an array (call it @array) on my perl program, containing hashes. One of the hash elements is named "bgcolor" and is actually a boolean value. Let's say for example that it also has a "content" value which is string and a "cnt" value which is integer (a counter).

The code notation provided works for HTMLTP, but it should work anywhere as the logical part. 

<table>
<!--: ascending array :-->
<tr class="<!--: if bgcolor :-->colored<!--: else :-->noncolored<!--: 
+end :-->"><td>[:cnt:]</td><td>The content of the [:cnt:]th element is
+ : [:content:]</td></tr>
<!--: end :-->
</table>

The only remaining part is to define the "colored" and "noncolored" classes on your CSS.
