Exists, maybe, exists and has a real use case, I'd be surprised.

CLUT also stands for Cubic Look Up Table, a type of LUT commonly used
for tone mapping that maps an RGB sample (in 3D space) to a colour.
Compared to traditional LUTs such as gamma and degamma, it allows
correlating colour components, while the gamma and degamma LUTs operate
on each colour component independently.
Is there any commonly used acronym for the indexed colours lookup table
that we could use here, to avoid future confusions ?
Other than that,
