You don't have to use jquery to implement this CSS is much suitable for that job. try this.

/*tri color rows*/
table.dataTable tbody tr:nth-child(3n+1)  {background-color: #FFCCCC;}
table.dataTable tbody tr:nth-child(3n+2)  {background-color: #99D6AD;}

table.dataTable tbody tr:nth-child(3n)    {background-color: #EBD6FF;}
th {
background: #aaf;
}
thead{
    background: #aaf;
}
/* End: tri color rows*/
