It’s more than just a saturation boost and gives pictures a certain look, but how does it work and how do you do it in software?

color grading is the art of using saturation, hue, black/white levels and other settings to make a picture “look good” in terms of color

here is one of many guides:

The way you do it in software is offer the user a number filters, which are really a collection changes to these settings.

You could try to use software to define what “look good” means, to make an auto-adjust color option. But that will get tricky.
