Place two text blocks next to eachother: Pick a main color for the whole row and then select a grey background for the right-side Visual Editor only. Alternate light grey, medium grey and dark greys. Use black text for lighter grey boxes, white text for darker grey boxes. Check how this effect looks on all screens. Slide rows around to mix it up.
