Some composite filling can have color in them.  Silver filling will
grow dark but over time.  Other than that I can't think of any filling
that's black.

May be the other doctors know...

The fillings I had done back in May are black in color, and the last
ones the ones that hurt are silver in color, what kind of filling is the
black ones?

The fact that the tooth with the silver filling only hurt when in
contact with metal utensil leads me to believe it's galvanic reaction.
The tooth is otherwise asymtomatic seem to indicate it's healthy.  I
will need to have xray to be certain.

Bases on the facts that you presented, I don't see any reason not to
trust your dentist.

I assume the fillings are silver fillings. If they are then galvanic
reaction is possible:

There are other articles if you google them.

Do the teeth hurt without contact to metal utensils?
