Natural tables have “odd” and “even” keywords for \setupTABLE but none in the way you like it. What I would do is to use a overlay in combination with metapost to create the background but there is no global register to access the current column/row of a cell, e.g. \currenttablecolumn (this name is already used by tables) and \currenttablerow.
