I know a lot about the Druids but I don't know what you are talking about. The Druids used Silver and Gold for things like sickles and daggers, whatever...but I can't think of anything that would be black...
Either way, they used certain colors because they had some significance or meaning. One color might represent a certain thing...I can't think of actual examples off the top of my head, but here are some links if you want to learn more:

It could also be because that is just what is available. :-)

Where'd you get the idea of black? And what makes you think these are the colors of "most items" used by Druids? A traditional Druid's robes will be white, not black, and trimmed with either silver or gold. The sickle boline isn't necessarily black either, and can be made of silver, gold, or bronze. "Other" items they use may be no different from anything you or I would use -colors included. You might want to ask IF things are the way you think, rather than WHY they are.

You probably think these neo-pagan "witches" who go to a goth store and buy fancy gothy jewelery which looks pretty, but has as much connection with druidism or pagan faith as rabbits with drumming. Or something
The sad thing is, nowadays it's kinda "trendy" to be a "witch" or a pagan or druid or whatever they call themselves, and this has gone so far that they actually have some sort of a publically recognised image, which requires black clothes and lots of ridiculous jewelery.

People all over the world have always used the the material that they had easy access to. For traveling and trade was always on a local level. Until they create the means to travel further away from their home base.............................

News to me. The most important metal in druidism is gold.

Silver symbolises the moon. and hence the shape of there sickle.
