garishness
This term describes a visual overload that triggers a sense of distaste or vulgarity. It is not merely about brightness or vividness, but about a lack of harmony and restraint, often associated with cheapness or an unsuccessful attempt to appear luxurious.
Because it is an abstract quality, the word is uncountable. It cannot be pluralized or counted as individual units, meaning it requires partitive constructions like a certain degree of garishness if a specific amount is being discussed.
