table alternating colored rows. Keep styles on table rows with attribute, skip other tr's. preferably done by CSS

I'm working on a table that has clickable rows. When you click a row, a new row will be appended right after the one you clicked.

// before click
<tr role=row>...</tr>
<tr role=row>...</tr>

//after clicking the 1st tr
<tr role=row>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr role=row>...</tr>

What I need is that the rows with role="row" get alternating colors and the trs without the role get ignored.

This is what I have so far:

$('tr[role=row]').click(function () {
  if ($(this).attr('data-toggle') != 0) {
  $(this).after('<tr colspan="4"><td>-</td></tr>')
    .attr('data-toggle', 0);
  }
});
.myclass > tbody > tr[role=row]:nth-child(odd) td {
    background-color: #fad;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table class="myclass">
  <thead>
    <tr role="row">
      <th>head 1</th>
      <th>head 2</th>
      <th>head 3</th>
      <th>head 4</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>should</td>
      <td>be</td>
      <td>colored</td>
      <td>!</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>no</td>
      <td>color</td>
      <td>-</td>
      <td>-</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>should</td>
      <td>be</td>
      <td>colored</td>
      <td>!</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>no</td>
      <td>color</td>
      <td>-</td>
      <td>-</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

The problem is whenever you add a new row (without role) it still counts for the css selector and the rows with role="row" get wrongly changed.

In short: I want a zebra style only applied on trs with role="row" that keep their color even when a row is inserted

If it can't be done in CSS, jquery is also fine.

Any help & feedback would be appreciated!

EDIT:

  1. Temani Afif's answer is nice, but I need to keep this table as it is.
  2. The third solution of Temani Afif's works best for me.

Redo the table logic using your own elements and you can easily achieve this with nth-of-type if you insert a different type of element:

$('[role=row]').click(function () {
  if ($(this).attr('data-toggle') != 0) {
  $(this).after('<section><span >-</span></section>')
    .attr('data-toggle', 0);
  }
});
.myclass [role=row]:nth-of-type(odd) * {
    background-color: #fad;
}
.myclass {
  display:table;
  border-spacing:2px;
}
.myclass > * {
  display:table-row;
}
.myclass > * > * {
  display:table-cell;
}
header {
  font-weight:bold;
}

tbody > div {
  display:table-row;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="myclass">
    <header>
      <span>head 1</span>
      <span>head 2</span>
      <span>head 3</span>
      <span>head 4</span>
    </header>
    <div role="row">
      <span>should</span>
      <span>be</span>
      <span>colored</span>
      <span>!</span>
    </div>
    <div role="row">
      <span>no</span>
      <span>color</span>
      <span>-</span>
      <span>-</span>
    </div>
    <div role="row">
      <span>should</span>
      <span>be</span>
      <span>colored</span>
      <span>!</span>
    </div>
    <div role="row">
      <span>no</span>
      <span>color</span>
      <span>-</span>
      <span>-</span>
    </div>
</div>

Or a hacky idea (I insist on hacky) is to introduce a different element while keeping the table:

$('tr[role=row]').click(function () {
  if ($(this).attr('data-toggle') != 0) {
  $(this).after('<div><td>-</td></div>')
    .attr('data-toggle', 0);
  }
});
.myclass > tbody > tr[role=row]:nth-of-type(odd) td {
    background-color: #fad;
}

.myclass > tbody > div {
  display:table-row;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table class="myclass">
  <thead>
    <tr role="row">
      <th>head 1</th>
      <th>head 2</th>
      <th>head 3</th>
      <th>head 4</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>should</td>
      <td>be</td>
      <td>colored</td>
      <td>!</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>no</td>
      <td>color</td>
      <td>-</td>
      <td>-</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>should</td>
      <td>be</td>
      <td>colored</td>
      <td>!</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>no</td>
      <td>color</td>
      <td>-</td>
      <td>-</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Or simply initialize the coloration using jQuery:

$('.myclass > tbody > tr[role=row]:nth-of-type(odd) td').css('background-color','#fad')

$('tr[role=row]').click(function () {
  if ($(this).attr('data-toggle') != 0) {
  $(this).after('<tr><td>-</td></tr>')
    .attr('data-toggle', 0);
  }
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table class="myclass">
  <thead>
    <tr role="row">
      <th>head 1</th>
      <th>head 2</th>
      <th>head 3</th>
      <th>head 4</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>should</td>
      <td>be</td>
      <td>colored</td>
      <td>!</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>no</td>
      <td>color</td>
      <td>-</td>
      <td>-</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>should</td>
      <td>be</td>
      <td>colored</td>
      <td>!</td>
    </tr>
    <tr role="row">
      <td>no</td>
      <td>color</td>
      <td>-</td>
      <td>-</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
