While in RealLife steel tends to be, well, [[CaptainObvious steel-colored]]. However in fiction there's nothing that stops you from showing colored swords or similar things. Usually, AWizardDidIt. Villains tend to have black or red colored weapon, while the good guys opt for white and other good colors as seen in GoodColorsEvilColors. A golden weapon that actually works as a steel weapon may count, as in real life gold isn't suited for making weapon blades and such.
