a multi-coloured object or an object of contrasting colours

My comment:

translation only suitable for a general readership, where I don't think we should use target (direct the attention implies a target)

Sorry, but it wouldn't get mine. Where does the "high" come from?

In matters of visual perception , contrast is defined as the distinguishable difference between an object or an image and the background. The greater the difference, the higher the contrast.

Yes, but "high" should be omitted here. Have never heard of this expression.

Well, you probably know a better term and/or did your our own research. Then propose your more adequate and matching medical term. This probably would be the most efficient way to help the asker, as well as stay close to the meaning of these answer & comment features ;-) Should you not know better, i invite you to take the time to read some medical, more exactly ophthalmologic reviews (academical and technical patented sources are free available online). As for me, i would sincerely appreciate to learn something asap, as well as getting a reasonable justification of your quite strict refusal for "high".

There are other reasonable answers here - I need not add to them. I merely pointed out that the English was wrong, and I am a native English speaker.

'cible' more accurately means 'target'.

More accurately in the military, not for baby toys. The Baby Health Centres recommend mobiles as 'cibles' not shooting targets.

A contrasted target. The word "cible" is always translated by "target"

Then, I think it would be better for those who know better how to respond to the question - to actually respond.
