Definition
显眼 means 'conspicuous, eye-catching' and is the everyday adjective for something that stands out visually. It's more colloquial than 引人注目 (a formal phrase) and broader than 醒目 (which specifically means 'strikingly clear/legible'). 抢眼 is a close synonym but slightly more informal and often used for fashion or design.
