How it's used
Focuses on the visual intensity and vividness of colours, often implying a sense of striking beauty or eye-catching quality. While it can describe natural objects like flowers or sunsets, it is frequently used to comment on fashion choices or interior design. It carries a positive connotation of being lively and vibrant rather than dull or faded.
Examples
The shirt she is wearing today is very bright-coloured.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 搶眼, which specifically means eye-catching or attention-grabbing. While something 鮮豔 is often 搶眼, the former describes the colour saturation itself, whereas the latter describes the effect the object has on the viewer.
