I think it could be obtained by the single displacement rxn : K3I + Cu ---> K + Cu3I2
React a solution of Copper(II) sulfate with Sodium Iodide. It will produce Copper(II) Iodide and Sodium sulfate. This Copper(II) iodide, due to instability, spontaneously decomposes, producing Iodine and Copper(I) Iodide.The Copper(I) iodide comes out as a yellowish brown precipitate. So the overall reaction seems to be:2 CuSO4 + 4 NaI ----> 2 CuI + 2 Na2SO4 + I2
Yellowish
Whitish yellow
A strong yellow color, from sodium
CuI
Formula: CuI

in aqueous medium ppts. of copper iodide are formed which are converted into cuprous iodide and free iodine in a short time. 2NaI + Cu(NO3)2 = CuI2 + 2NaNO3 2CuI2 = Cu2I2 + I2
Bluish-green
Lead(II) iodide is yellow in colour

Lead(II) iodide has at room temperature a pretty yellow color.
White
