First 'white' is #FFFFFF, so #F2F2F2; is only 8/256 or 3% black a very
light gray it maybe more to do with the color depth of their display
then a browser issue.

Second, use CSS, because to change your table you have to change every
row code whereas with CSS all you have to change is one CSS entry:

..evenrow { color: black; background-color: white; }
..oddrow { color: black; background-color: aqua; }

<table>
<tr class="evenrow">
<td>row 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="oddrow">
<td>row 2</td>
</tr>
<tr class="evenrow">
<td>row 3</td>
</tr>
<tr class="oddrow">
<td>row 4</td>
</tr>
</table>
