It doesn't take much of an element to produce a flame test, so I guess a very small amount (1%) copper sulphate would be adequate.

It doesn't take much black powder to blast your eyes out, so make sure you know what you're doing, following a reputable recipe (if you had to ask on here it sounds as if you may not be), and are wearing good eye protection and following other safety measures.

Take care!
