As we have learnt, 

\text{CuS } is the only black sulphide which can be precipitated upon reaction of  Cupric chloride with \mathrm{H_2S }

\mathrm{CuCl}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S} \rightarrow \underset{(\text { Black ppt })}{\mathrm{CuS}}+2 \mathrm{HCl}

\mathrm{CdS } is yellow while \mathrm{ZnS } is white.
