Yeah. That's a nice example.
The top 4 rows are all showing temperature, and they use a consistent
color-scale.  But the 5th and 6th rows use a different set of colors.
So this is really three different heat maps stacked on top of each other.
I am not sure how I would go about creating such a plot in gnuplot,
even aside from the question of multiple palettes.
