Any poles that are candy striped are made that way by the vaulters. You can buy colored tape somewhere online and then retape your poles with it. No poles come from the company with different colored tape.
Does this belong in the international forum? haha

I think most of the poles Altius sells are candy cane striped, and they sell carbons now.
It's pretty easy to do it yourself, just buy some gym floor tape, 2" wide, and decorate as you see fit.

How exactly do you tape it though?

It's kind of like doing grip tape, you start at the bottom and work up, you just angle it so that it's not overlapping.
I would practice on something first.
