Similar in the essence they have to do with the frequency of the color and its distribution in an image (with some flexibility/context in its interpretation). But then dominance is skewed more towards human perception, and what a human being would potentially "percieve" as the color to boldly strike out from an image. In general it still seems these notions are vague, I am surprised these concepts are not defined and set in stone. People throw them around a lot. | |

Aside from "primary" used in color theory, I don't believe these words have any Jargon usage that I have encountered. Primary and Prominent seem to be virtually synonyms, but in a more complex image, the dominant color may be even more subtle, as it may be a small amount that contrasts so much from the context that it assumes control of our perception. | |
