A Colour Look-Up Table (CLUT) is a device which converts the logical colour numbers stored in each pixel of video memory into physical colours, normally represented as RGB triplets, that can be displayed on a computer monitor. The palette is simply a block of fast RAM which is addressed by the logical colour and whose output is split into the red, green and blue levels which drive the actual display (e.g., a CRT or Cathode Ray Tube). A pixel (pix, 1932 abbreviation of pictures, coined by Variety headline writers + element) is one of the many tiny dots that make up the representation of a picture in a computers memory. ... VRAM an acronym for Video RAM. Generally a term used in computers to describe RAM dedicated to the purpose of displaying bitmap graphics in raster graphics hardware. ... The RGB color model utilizes the additive model in which red, green, and blue light are combined in various ways to create other colors. ... Sharma Ram (disambiguation) Ram Sharma is an amazing, talented teenager that lives in Canada His talents include rapping, comedy, and cooking He is bound to success! ... The initialism CRT has more than one use: In electronics, the cathode ray tube of a display device, such as a television In U.S. schools, the Criterion-Referenced Test In mathematics, the Chinese remainder theorem In computing, the C Run-Time Library In medicine, it means Corneal Refractive Therapy. ...


The number of entries ("logical colours") in the palette is the total number of colours which can appear on screen simultaneously. The width of each entry determines the number of colours which the palette can be set to produce.


A common example would be a palette of 256 colours (i.e. addressed by eight-bit pixel values) where each colour can be chosen from a total of 16.7 million colours (i.e. eight bits output for each of red, green and blue).


Changes to the palette affect the whole screen at once and can be used to produce special effects which would be much slower to produce by updating pixels.

Ceretic of Alt Clut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (307 words)
Ceretic Guletic of Alt Clut was a king of Alt Clut (modern Dumbarton) in the fifth century.

Ceretic appears also in the Harleian genealogies of the rulers of Alt Clut, from which we know his father (Cynloyp), grand-father (Cinhil) and great-grandfather (Cluim).
