highlights
Most memorable parts
Highlights are the brightest or most prominent parts of something.
In hair, highlights are lighter streaks added for visual interest.
In art and photography, highlights are areas of maximum brightness.
The highlights of an event or experience are its best or most memorable moments: The trip had many highlights, but the concert was unforgettable.
To highlight is to emphasize or draw attention to something, or to mark text with a bright color for easy reference.
