Copper has two oxides. Copper (I) oxide is red, while Copper (II) oxide is black.
Copper oxide can appear in different colors depending on its chemical composition. Copper(I) oxide is red or orange in color, while copper(II) oxide is black.
The color of the precipitate formed when copper(II) hydroxide decomposes to copper(II) oxide is black. When heated, the greenish-blue copper(II) hydroxide decomposes into black copper(II) oxide, which is the color of the precipitate.
GreenAdded:There are two copper oxides, differing in color:if it is black powder, then it is copper(II) oxide CuO (cupric, more common, as in the mineral 'tenoriet')if it is red powder, then it is copper(I) oxide Cu2O (cuprous oxide, as in mineral the 'cupriet' and it occurs in 'Benedict's test' on reducing sugars)
When sodium hydroxide is added to copper oxide, a blue precipitate of copper hydroxide is formed. The color of the precipitate is due to the formation of copper ions in solution.
When a copper coin is heated on a Bunsen flame, it undergoes oxidation, forming copper oxide. Copper oxide is a black compound, which is why the coin appears black.

The colour of copper(II) oxide is black, while that of copper(I) oxide is red. The green colour you see on the Statue of Liberty is because carbon dioxide in the air reacted with the copper to produce copper(II) carbonate, which is greenish-blue.
When copper oxide is added to hydrogen, a redox reaction occurs. The color change observed is from black copper oxide to reddish-brown copper metal, indicating the reduction of copper oxide to copper metal by hydrogen gas.
The color of the precipitate formed when copper(II) hydroxide decomposes to copper(II) oxide is black. When heated, the greenish-blue copper(II) hydroxide decomposes into black copper(II) oxide, which is the color of the precipitate.
Cu2O, where the 2 should be a subscript, is copper(I) oxide or cuprous oxide to give it its old name. It is found naturally as the ore cuprite. It is a red-brown powder, whereas the copper(II) oxide we see when copper is heated is black.

Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
Cuprous oxide or copper(I) oxide. This is copper in oxidation state '1'.
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.
