Generally speaking, if you are formally attired you will be wearing a jacket and waistcoat with your kilt. In that instance a belt would not be worn unless you are also wearing a dirk, in which case the belt would go over the waistcoat. (The exception would be a Montrose doublet, or similar, where a belt is always worn.)

If, for whatever reason, you choose to forgo the waistcoat, then, for the sake of uniformity, the buckle should match your buttons. The kilt pin is an entirely different matter, and may be gold, silver, or any other sort of finish one desires.
