What's the "accent color"?

Either my English is not good enough or I just do not get it, but could anybody please explain to me what the "accent color" is and where it is used?


My question originated from the fact that I couldn't find a real description of when and how that color is used. Had I scrolled further down, I'd have found that description, too.

Sorry to interrupt, thanks for pointing me to it everybody.
