Zebra striping
Table coloring to improve readability
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zebra striping is the coloring of every other row of a table to improve readability.[1] Especially in wide tables with numerous columns, it can be difficult for a reader following a row to be confident that their gaze has not strayed to an adjacent row without some means of distinguishing rows at a glance. Although zebra striping has been used for a long time to improve readability, there is relatively little data on how much it helps.[2][3]
