Hiya!! I've spoken to gecko just to better be able to reply better but he did clarify that it was all coincidental and we list down below the creative process if at all it helps clear anything up more!! :3

A part of his process for this design in particular he recounts using this reference img here https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/91479436172655113/feedback/?invite_code=bb02b2fdecf24737915a54affd2e9266&sender_id=988681061854673655 and colour hueing and picking from it until it was something that workable into a design. They are originally meant to be themed off wild berries and the backrooms as theming.
