Concept
Colour Dominance
The establishment of a clear colour hierarchy in which one colour and its values lead the composition, with others serving as highlights and contrasts.
“Only one colour should dominate at any time - multiple competing colour dominances produce the same visual confusion as multiple competing design dominances.”
Colour dominance allows one colour and its values to dominate throughout an arrangement, with others serving as highlight and contrast. For example, an arrangement in lemon and mauve uses more lemon and yellow in various values predominantly, highlighted and contrasted by the mauve. As with the broader principle of dominance, only one colour should dominate at any time for harmony to exist. Multiple competing colour dominances produce visual confusion. Colour dominance must be coordinated with overall dominance decisions in the design. Source: Pampling (130).
