alternate colors with loop using div (not tables)

trying to alternate colors with this loop. absolutely no idea how to do it!

foreach ($results->result as $current) {
        echo '<div>';
		if ($current->data['phone1']=="") {echo "";} else {echo $current->data['phone1'].'<br/>';}
		if ($current->data['dr_url']=="")
        {echo $current->data['first_mi'].'&nbsp;'.$current->data['last'].',&nbsp;'.$current->data['title'].'<br/>';}
		else 
        {echo '<a href="'.$current->data['dr_url'].'" target="_blank">'.$current->data['first_mi'].'&nbsp;'.$current->data['last'].',&nbsp;'.$current->data['title'].'</a><br/>';}
		if ($current->data['group']=="") {echo "";} else {echo $current->data['group'].'<br/>';}
        echo $current->data['address1'].', '.$current->data['address2'].'<br/>';
        echo $current->data['city'].', '.$current->data['state'].', '.$current->data['zip'].'<br/>';
        printf("%d %s", $current->distance, $units);
        echo '</div>';
      }

This is what I do...

Before the loop:
$x=0;

During the loop:

If ($x % 2 = 0){
// Show code with color 1
}Else {
// Show code with color 2
}
$x++;

End loop

oops, line:

echo '<div style="color:'.$color.'">';

should be as:

echo '<div style="background-color:'.$color.'">';
