I practice Vodou and that is not it. If there is someone walking around with a chicken foot necklace on then they have problems. The chicken is used either as an offering for the lwa or used in cleanings. Chicken feet are not used for anything in particular. I have not heard of this in Hoodoo either.

In early times the only colours easily available for decorating the walls were 'KAAVI' and Chunnambu.Kaavi or red earth was used on Kolams with white stone powder . This is a nice visual contrast and kaavi and white is pleasing to the eye. So this was used on Temple walls and on outer walls of Agraharam ( Brahmin residential streets). Kaavi being replaced by red paint is a modern variation. As for black it is considered by all religions including Hinduism to be an inauspicious colour---usually associated with " Kathu, karuppu".( evil forces) Now the same colour combination is seen on the roadside trees on both the sides of the National highways. I thought it is for visual impact but I found the trees on the side of branching roads are painted white. I am yet to solve thr mystery!! Your suggestion of Trimurthies brings to my mind the three lines worn by the Ayangars on thir foreheads.

Dear Sir, Recently I heard in a Mahabharata Discourse by one Shri. Naagai Mukundhan, in Anna Nagar, Chennai the reasons for White & Red/Saffron colour to symbolize the colours of basic seeds of creation Sperm & Overy as described by ‘Kuttima’ above. EDIT: Another possibility or reasoning: Olden days, the compounds were done with Stone masonry and it never required plaster or painting. But later when the brick masonry came in to practice, plastering was essential to make the surface even and also to protect bricks from decaying. Prior to cement, only lime was used as binding material for mortar. When lime mortar plaster was completed it remained off white. It is accepted in general that GOD Para Brahman is light and colour is white. Since Para Brahman is in the nature of giving away everything to all, the suitable colour to represent Para Brahman is white as scientifically White is a colour which reflects all without any absorption. Hence to represent Para Brahman white is used in compound wall using lime. (Black is opposite nature to absorb everything and it does not reflect anything back. So such colour is totally prohibited I guess) Again Yellow in the form of Turmeric is available is considered to be very auspicious and representation of Sakthi or Ambal Amsam and that turmeric was applied over the white compound as strips. It is the nature of Turmeric to react with lime and get transferred to a new colour red by chemical reaction. Hence the original idea was to represent Para Brahman & Sakthi white and yellow were applied but turned White & Red. This was the out come of my discussion with Shri.C.Srividya Rajagopalan Sir and that I have posted here as additional detail.

Sounds like the Voodoo or Hoodoo charm to cast away the evil eye. In other words a good luck charm.

Are you sure it is supposed to be a chicken foot? Could also be an eagle foot. The two are quite similar.
