conspicuity
Quality of noticeability
Conspicuity is the quality of being easily seen or noticed—visibility that draws attention.
The term appears most often in technical contexts like traffic safety and ergonomics, where high conspicuity means something stands out against its background: The study measured the conspicuity of warning signs under various lighting conditions.
It's the noun form of conspicuous, though visibility or prominence serve in most everyday contexts.
