I'm not finding much about fixing video having incorrect white space, more

Question, what is the proper method of applying such a missing white balance
fluorescent filter to a video file using ffmpeg?
I would do that with a color-look-up-table. The procedure is described
step-by-step in chapter 2.27 and an easier simplified version is described in
chapter 2.28 in my book:

No stranger to these color tables for correction white balance, as my Nikon
DSLR and likely most recent DLSR cameras use some correcting color profiles
these days!
However, seems there's few options for video files.

Yea, horrendously named file names!
$ ffmpeg -i 00003.avi -vf lut3d=/tmp/lut/Lutify.me\ Free\ White\ Balance\
Correction\ 3D\ LUTs/3D\ LUTs/6500\ Kelvin\ -\ 5500\ Kelvin\ -\ 0.21\ CTB.cube
-crf 27 -preset veryfast -c:a copy test2.mp
On my second try, tried "6500 Kelvin - 5500 Kelvin - 0.21" and this is very
close to RawTherapee's Philips TL85 fluorescent white balance setting results, if not
better than RawTherapee! Still not absolutely perfect likely more due to VHS tape
degradation or re-recorded degradation, as this section/sesesion of the VHS tape was a
recording of a recording of a recording during the 1990's.
For reference for those wondering how I digitized without a time correcting
device, I used ffmpeg on the compressed original video captures to augment the
video/audio sync problem and was trial and error. Subsequently using the yadif
deinterlace filter and specifying the double pass option.
-filter:v "setpts=0.8015*PTS",yadif=1
Are these LUTS my best options? Or does the paid subscription offer better?
Or are there other white balance/color correcting LUTS elsewhere?
You can make your own LUT, as described in chapter 2.28 in my book.
-- Extract one frame from your video.
-- Insert a haldclut in a corner of the image, or use xstack to attach
it to the side.
-- Use the program of your choice to correct the colors in this image.
When done, save it lossless as 16-bit PNG.
-- Use FFmpeg to separate the haldclut from the image.
-- Apply the LUT to the whole video.
