What does dominant colour mean?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The colour with the strongest overall effect in a picture
The governing concept is colour dominance in composition. A dominant colour is the colour that occupies or influences the visual field most strongly and therefore helps establish the picture’s mood and unity. It need not cover every part of the image, but it should guide the viewer’s overall impression. Thus option A is correct; a hidden colour, paper colour, or colour without hue does not define dominance.
