Accent colors provide a way for users to personalize their desktop in a simple, developer-friendly, and effective way. Throughout the community there has been a general interest in the inclusion of accent colors within apps and desktop environments. This proposal aims to standardize an accent color key on the Settings portal.

A new key on the Settings portal, accent-color, would be defined under the org.freedesktop.appearance namespace.

So now we are going to get an 'accent-color' pref in flatpaks or flatpaks finally will follow color-schemes?

A setting was added that all applications can read and soon desktops which have color schemes will set it.
