Not in any straightforward way I can see. Some obvious differences:
- This result has effectively only two colours: "coloured" and "not coloured".
- This relates to an infinite continuous plane of points rather than a finite, discrete set.
- This has a notion of distance, whereas the four-colour theorem is more about connectivity.
That said, the idea of using a computer to aid a proof did also occur in the original proof of the four colour theorem.
