Black is great for very bright days, Orange is good for normal light, and yellow is great for low light. Sometimes even good idea to have fluorescent tips.
Pole floats have small body located nearer the top of the float and slim stem.
The body is typically made from balsa wood because it is very floating and the same time pretty strong. Another advantage of balsa wood it also can be in many different shapes and designs that affect the way the float sits in the water and responds to fish bait.

Body-down pole floats
The body down tear drop shaped pole float has wider part closer to the bottom of the float body. This float works well in most fishing environment, perfect for river fishing, suitable for deeper still waters, using it for calm water is the best.
Shoulder-up pole floats
The Shoulder-up float has a fatter body at the top and tapering down to the bottom. The body then tapers off nearer the tip. The long thin taper on the body allows you to use different amounts of shot when setting the float up. This type of float works very well on both calm and windy days. If the wind picks up, then just remove a piece of shot, so the float tip can ride higher in the water. If the wind dies and it is calm, then add the shot again so that the tip is lower in the water. They are also more or less intended for river pole fishing as you can hold them back in the flow.
