Specifies the note's accent colour (replaces $Color2)
It is used for the alternate colour of the $Pattern drawn on the (background) $Color of a note in a map view.
It is also used for the accent colour in bar() and vbar() map progress bar patterns, as well as container plots.
The default is 'dark warm gray dark'.
The colour can be set via the Appearance Inspector ▸ Interior tab.
Retained for backwards compatibility, $Color2 is deprecated in favour of $AccentColor which fulfils the same role but with a more descriptive name. Both set the same colour.
