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.
