Add back odd and even banding on the NewPagesFeed
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Requested by Qcne at Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Feedback_on_NewPagesFeed_design_changes_(Codex_conversion)

The latest version of the NewPagesFeed removes the odd and even banding in the NewPagesFeed. However, this lack of banding has led to a concern about eyestrain. We should discuss/prototype a way of adding it back.

Can we darken the banding a bit? I can barely see it.

Looks like the current banding looks a bit darker on certain monitors and a bit lighter on others. My main monitor makes it look really light.

@MPGuy2824 suggested darkening it to #eaecf0. I tried that out and it's definitely dark enough if we want to use that.

That's also the color of the headers, I wish we had a more intermediate grey :(

In this case I'd suggest to use a Less color function on an existing token instead. Our grey palette is having a slightly blue touch and shouldn't be a RGB equal color grey like #f5f5f5.
