A CLUT is a specialized RAM that stores R, G and B values that define specific colors.
King Artgal of Alt Clut did not long survive these events, being killed "at the instigation" of Causantín son of Cináed two years later.
In the early medieval Cumbric language it was known as Clud or Clut, and was central to the Kingdom of Strathclyde (Teyrnas Ystrad Clut).
Image data that uses indexed color specifies addresses within the CLUT to provide the required R, G and B values for each specific pixel, one pixel at a time.
Of course, before displaying, the CLUT has to be loaded with R, G and B values that define the palette of colors required for each image to be rendered.
The content of the CLUT is much like a palette of colors.
