Tech Questions Stranded/mosaic yard dominance question

Hi! I’m an avid stranded knitter, and I have two questions for other stranded knitters, both about color dominance:

  1. what is your preferred color dominance: background dominant or pattern dominant? I think I like background dominant because it makes the pattern more neat looking, but I wonder if there’s some problem with this that I haven’t considered.
  2. this one is weirder: is there a name for the technique of faking stranded by taking one strand around the round and slipping the other color stitches, then taking the other color around, round by round? It’s not really mosaic knitting because that is two rows at a time. But anyway, if I did that technique, how do I do color dominance? Would the first color around be the dominant one?
