We normally use corkstrips for round edges (10 x 10 x 60). Looks nice,
easy to fit and of course very flexible.

To use as a decorative edge to match the edging used along the straight
walls?
How do you get it to match the colour and shape?
How would that work in place of a 90 degree edging strip, over the
curve-faced lip of a stair?

No, you don't place the corkstrip along the straight walls, that would fill-up the expansion gap. We use (flexible) cork-strips where beading cannot be used, like around pillars and rounded stairs etc. That way you still have a bit of expansion gap (cork will press in when floor expands), plus 'nice' finish because 'gap' is filled with natural product.
You don't colour the cork, it's has a natural brownish colour.
Not sure what you mean with last question.
