I like to use style classes -- but it would use the same technique, but it
keeps the colors definitions out of the HTML:
<style>
.row0 { background-color: 55FFFF }
.row1 { background-color: 5555FF }
</style>
... then ...
<tr class="row<%= index %>">
This technique also works if you want to rotate between more than two
colors.
but I usually use a MOD function (% operator) to turn the rowcount into a 0
or 1.

A second after I sent my previous mail I found the solution. It's much
easier
than I thought:
[...]
<% String colors[] = { "#55ffff", "#5555ff" };
int index = 0;
%>
<sql:resultSet id="rset2">
<tr bgcolor="<%=colors[index]%>">
<td><sql:getColumn position="1"/></td>
<td><sql:getColumn position="2"/>
<sql:wasNull>[no description]</sql:wasNull>
</td>
</tr>
<% index ^= 1; %>
</sql:resultSet>
