Or you could simply test the $color variable to see its contents, and 
change it if it's what you expected:

$color = "#FFFFFF";
if($color = "#FFFFFF") {
  $color = "#000000";
  //output
} else {
  $color = "#FFFFFF";
}

There may be something inherently wrong in this approach, but it has 
always worked for me. :o)

Maintain a counter as you display the returned results.
Mod the counter by 2 (rowcounter % 2), set colour according to presence / 
absence of a remainder.
