GCT-Kuil,

There are some rules regarding kaRuppu/ karumai (which are perhaps the most disobeyed!)

When you mean black clour, you say 'kaRuppu', as in 'kaRuppu niRam' or 'koonthal kaRuppu'.
When you use it as an adjective , it should be 'kaNNaa, karumai niRak kaNNaa'or 'karunkoonthal', or 'karuneela sattai', or 'karunthEL kaNNaayiram'.

Again, while writing 'karuppan' or 'karuppiah', I think the rule is flouted maximum!
