Do pentatonic scales only use black notes?

That is a misconception. Just as you can have a major scale that starts on any of the 12 tones, you can have pentatonic scales starting on any tone as well. It is the spacing and the number of notes that make a scale pentatonic. Incidentally, you can have a pentatonic melody with standard (non-pentatonic) harmonies accompanying it.

Coldplay generally use the more "emotional" full major and minor scales. If you're hoping to jam along with their songs you still can, as the pentatonic scales are derived from the majors and minors, so for example if the song is in E minor you can just play in E minor pentatonic.

What best scale to learn for guitar?

The Pentatonic is by far the most useful, because anything you play with the pentatonic will sound good. Major/Minor pentatonics are exactly the same shapes for related scales e.g. A minor and C major use the same notes, and B minor and D major use the same notes. You only need to add a few notes to get a full Major or Minor scale, of a Modal Scale.The octave ( eight steps single notes) is probably the most easiest, it propably sounds like this do ra me fa so la te do. This can be used with any major scale.
