You could use a custom PHX modifier to achieve this (and make it a more flexible solution than putting the logic into the PHx call itself).

Create a snippet called phx:mColor

<?php
// phx:mColor
// select colour setting according to position in list
// position = $output from ditto_iteration placeholder

$colorStrings = array(
'color-background-portfolio',
'color-background-portfolio-twee',
'color-background-portfolio-drie'
);

$nStrings = count($colorStrings);

$color = $colorStrings[$output % $nStrings];

return $color;
?>

Feed it the output of the ditto_iteration placeholder within your template chunk:

<li class="[+ditto_iteration:mColor+]"><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+pagetitle+]</a></li>

and Bob, as they say, is your uncle.
wink
