This depends on what the person who made or dressed it wants it to do. Voodoo dolls (poppets) can be representative of a person, a deity, or a wish.
Many people use black poppets for curses. They imbue the doll with some aspect of the person they wish ill towards, and often put some part of them in the doll, such as hair or the fingernails of their left hand or foot. Then using sympathetic magic, they do bad things to the person by way of the doll or curse using the doll as a visualization tool.
Black Voodoo dolls can also however, be used to enable spiritual growth or as something like "anchors" for forces that are generally viewed as dark, but can be useful. Maman Brigitte is one such force. She is a Lwa best known from Haiti, the wife of Baron Samedi.
If one has a disease or condition for which cells or microbes need to die in order for the person to heal, then a black doll can be used to help this to happen. It is even useful if someone needs to lose weight. You would want the fat cells to shrink so the person's health could improve.
There are also some deities whose manifestations to the human eye or imagination appear to be black or at least very very dark skinned. A black doll can be used to represent them.
