Copper metal is usually reddish brown.
The black substance formed on copper is called copper oxide. It is a chemical compound that forms when copper is exposed to oxygen in the air, resulting in a black or greenish-black tarnish on the surface of the copper.
The black coating that forms on the surface of copper is called copper oxide.
Copper oxide appears as a black or dark brown powder after copper has burned.

When copper carbonate is heated, it changes from its green color to black copper oxide.
CuCO3 + Heat --> CuO + O2 Green Copper Carbonate when heated will form Copper Oxide and Oxygen
Copper(II) sulfate changes from green to black when heated due to the decomposition of copper(II) ions to copper(I) ions, which are black in color.
Copper sulfate is not black. Combined with water, as hydrated copper sulfate, it is blue. Without water, as anhydrous copper sulfate, it is white.
Copper wiring can turn black due to oxidation, which occurs when the copper comes into contact with air and moisture. This chemical reaction forms a layer of copper oxide on the surface of the wire, giving it a black appearance. It is a natural process and does not affect the conductivity or performance of the wiring.
Cu2O (Copper(II) Oxide) is a Red Powder. CuO (Copper(I) Oxide) is a Black Powder.
Foolish Fools!, it does infact turn Green! because the oxygen bonds with the copper to form copper oxide, wich is green, it reflects different fractions of light to the copper
When air is passed over heated copper powder, the copper undergoes oxidation, forming copper oxide. Copper oxide is black in color, which is why the heated copper powder appears black when air is passed over it.
