I think it looks cool, I'll probably add this into my randomized color-palette-selection code I have in my emacs startup. I think it definitely accomplishes its goal of capturing an "arctic" feel. Related to this idea but a bit of a tangent, a fun introductory use of self organizing maps is to make a very small map of just a few nodes, and train it with RGB values of a photo or photos of which you want to capture a "feeling". The nodes will end up representing a limited palette that very effectively captures the original images.
