ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CLUT

Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called CLUT. CLUT stands for "Color Look-Up Table," and it's a fancy way of saying that it's a list of colors. Imagine you have a big box of crayons, and each crayon is a different color. Now imagine that you have a list that tells you the names of all the colors in that box. That's kind of what a CLUT is like!

Now, let's say you have a really cool picture on your computer, but it looks a little boring because the colors aren't very bright. You can use a CLUT to make the colors more vibrant and exciting! All you have to do is tell your computer to use the colors in the CLUT to change the colors in your picture. So if your picture has a lot of blue in it, you might use a CLUT that has a really bright shade of blue on it to make the blues in your picture pop!

CLUTs are often used in things like photo editing programs or video games to make the colors look better. They might sound complicated, but they're really just a way to make things look more colorful and fun!
