First off, you can use any kind of cord, it is up to you and them. Some people use ribbon, others use hemp or other natural fibers, some beautiful ones have beads, or charms. As for color, it depends on what you are going for. You can use colors that are significant to the couple, or colors that correspond to love, happiness, fertility etc.. the number of cords can also depend on what you want, two,three or even 7. The cords should be beween 4 and 6 feet, depending on which traditional wrap you are doing. Also other things that may come into play is which pagan tradition they follow.
