+5000. I think is by far the most readable and flexible solution suggested. I also like it because it's PHPish -- it uses the features of the language that were made-to-order for this problem.

Actually it's the wrong way to do it. Change the class names to "alternate1" and "alternate2" (or something else meaningful without being tied to a definition). That way when you set the colour for style "white" to "green" it doesn't result in confusion. Seriously though... this is nomenclature 101.
