An accent colour is a colour used in quite small quantities to lift or to add punch to a colour scheme.
An accent colour should be in a complementary colour (Complementary colours are ones that are opposite to one another on the colour wheel. These colours are naturally made to 'go' with one another - think of the red and green of an apple, or the purple and yellow of an iris.).
It works best if it's a bright, vibrant colour. Accent colours are perfect if you're scared of using strong colour - simply add a splash of an accent colour with a cushion, a vase or a throw.
Keep most of your room in shades and variations of one single colour. Choose a number of items in a harmonious colour. Then pick out just a few objects in an accent colour.

A (usually) contrasting colour, used in small amounts to perk up a uniform, maybe fairly neutral, interior design scheme.

It is a color that goes well with another color. Like if you painted your room purple you would accent it with probably pink. or maybe yellow. It off sets the main color a little.So it isn't so boring.
