perceptibility

Capacity for detection

Perceptibility is the quality of being able to be perceived—detected by the senses or recognized by the mind.

The word appears most often in technical or philosophical contexts discussing thresholds of awareness: The perceptibility of the color change depends on lighting conditions.

Something at the edge of perceptibility is barely noticeable.
