#' @description
#' Provides curated qualitative, sequential, and diverging palettes for multiple
#' plot types. Supports intensity adjustment and preview.
#'
#' @param category Character. Plot/palette category: one of `box`, `continue2`,
#'   `continue`, `random`, `heatmap`, `heatmap3`, `tidyheatmap`.
#' @param palette Character or numeric. Palette name or index (varies by category).
#' @param alpha Numeric. Alpha (transparency) scaling factor. Default is 1.
#' @param counts Integer. Number of colors (for continuous palettes).
#'   Default is 50.
#' @param show_col Logical. If TRUE, prints the palette. Default is TRUE.
#' @param show_message Logical. If TRUE, prints available options.
#'   Default is FALSE.
#'
#' @return Character vector of hex color codes.
