That idea is far more logical than my initial thought. I see a blue/black/white pattern that I’ve only ever seen in an eye before, hence my idea.

I initially thought you were making some sort of obscure reference to the Toni Morrison book but couldn’t make sense of it. I’ve never seen that iconic image before.

To confuse you further, the Hindi version of the idiom, derived from the Persian, *does* have explicit colorist connotations. Trucks will often sport the bumper sticker slogan “buri nazar wale, tera muh kala” (“caster of evil eye, may your face turn dark”)

The blue icon thing is not used in India to my knowledge. There’s other iconography.
