lapply(sample(lisa, 18), plot)

You can also call and/or modify palettes using lisa_palette:

x <- lisa_palette("JackBush_1", 1000, "continuous")
y <- lisa_palette("PabloPicasso", 2, "discrete")
z <- lisa_palette("KatsushikaHokusai", 1000, "continuous")
lapply(list(x, y, z), plot)

All palettes have 3 attributes associated with them, you can access them with the lisa list:

#> * Colors: #1a3431 #2b41a7 #6283c8 #ccc776 #c7ad24
