Oh does he?
The Fox has many inspirations, I think the main ones would be Robin Hood, Batman, Zorro and Rorscharch (from Watchmen). He's the kind of vigilante that makes mistake after mistake after mistake. He doesn't want to create problems but he does and is therefor seen as a criminal.
As for the monochromatic pallets? Yes, the game will be revolving around the colours blue and white. For one because I like the colours and they give the game a sort of mystical feeling and besides that it looks great visually.
