How it's used
Focuses on how something stands out or becomes more prominent specifically because of a contrast with its surroundings. It is often used in formal or analytical contexts to discuss how a particular event or feature draws attention to a larger issue. Unlike general words for emphasis, it implies that the object being highlighted is now impossible to ignore.
Examples
The color of this shirt really highlights your skin tone.
How does he highlight his own strengths?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 強調, which simply means to emphasize or stress a point verbally. Use 突顯 when the prominence is a result of visual or situational contrast, rather than just stating something repeatedly.
