Normally, the CLUT chunk will appear after the BMHD of an FORM ILBM before
the BODY chunk, in the same "section" as CMAPs are normally found.
However, a FORM may contain only CLUTs with no other supporting
information.

As a general guideline, it is desirable to group all CLUTs together in a
form without other chunk types between them. If you were using CLUTs to
store RGB intensity corrections, you would write three CLUTs in a row, R,
G, then B.

Here is a box diagram for a 320x200x8 image stored as an IFF ILBM with a
single CLUT chunk for intensity mapping:
