Usage

Creating a grid with alternating rows using grid-cols-<number>

<div class="grid grid-cols-3">
    <div>Col 1</div>
    <div>Col 2</div>
    <div>Col 3</div>
    
    <div class="striped">
        <div>Row 1 - Col 1</div>
        <div>Row 1 - Col 2</div>
        <div>Row 1 - Col 3</div>

        <div>Row 2 - Col 1</div>
        <div>Row 2 - Col 2</div>
        <div>Row 2 - Col 3</div>

        <div>Row 3 - Col 1</div>
        <div>Row 3 - Col 2</div>
        <div>Row 3 - Col 3</div>
    </div>
</div>

The div with the striped class is a wrapper which is using display:contents, hence it's box is not rendered.

Creating a grid with alternating rows using grid-cols-[<numbers>]

<div class="grid grid-cols-[5em_7em_4em]">
    <div>Col 1</div>
    <div>Col 2</div>
    <div>Col 3</div>
    
    <div class="striped-3">
        <div>Row 1 - Col 1</div>
        <div>Row 1 - Col 2</div>
        <div>Row 1 - Col 3</div>

        <div>Row 2 - Col 1</div>
        <div>Row 2 - Col 2</div>
        <div>Row 2 - Col 3</div>

        <div>Row 3 - Col 1</div>
        <div>Row 3 - Col 2</div>
        <div>Row 3 - Col 3</div>
    </div>
</div>

The wrapper <div> now has to specify the number of columns.

Both options support the default grid with up to 12 columns.
