Back in the 80's you were issued with a set of each, I believe to be worn dependent on the occasion. I got married in KD with gold buttons & white belt & gloves. I think it's the same now.

I was issued both gold and black too in 2005. In dress regs now it only shows the gold colour for No6 Dress and doesn't mention black at all.

Hope this helps,
