I assume you are referring to "Tele-Power" poles which is a Wiremold trade name or Hubbell Premise Wiring aluminum service poles. These are usually specified when through the floor outlet access is restricted or not possible. As far as a "standard color" is concerned, that is totally left up to the architect, electrical installers or the telecommunications installer. As far as cover plates, the company (Wiremold, Hubbell, etc.) catalog will provide you with suitable cover plates for the metal cutouts made for the outlets and jacks.

I recently did a job for a national that actually specified black for data and white for phone. They also specified the color of patch and line cords. So, it's a mixed bag. If you are reading a print, then there should be some accompanying documentation explaining things like fit, trim and color. If that is missing or was never done, then you should have a list of questions for the pre-bid meeting. If this is a government bid, there should be meetings and lots and lots of drawing revisions and specification changes.
