To do this programmatically try

Public Sub RowColor()
Dim c As Range

For Each c In ActiveSheet.Rows
If (c.Row - 1) Mod 4 1 Then
c.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
Else: c.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
Next c

End Sub

The above changes all rows which may be too many. To limit the row count
you can dim c as an integer and change the for each line to for c = 1 to
number_of_rows_to_change
