Just rearrange the other cation and anion, and you'll get copper II hydroxide, which according to OH-'s solubility rules, is insoluble, and according to general knowledge of copper II, should be blue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper%28II%29_hydroxide

Chemical name is based on charge copper II has a charge of +2, while hydroxide has a charge of -1, so by crossing charges over, you should get CU(OH)2
