Changing the accent color from User Settings → Profile does not always reflect on the user's profile.
In most cases, the 'selected color' appears unchanged or fails to update visually after saving (both in 'preview window' and in actual profile), making the feature unreliable.
The issue seems intermittent rather than tied to a specific color choice.

In my testing the user-configured Accent Color is overwritten by the auto-selected color from the user's Avatar image. Accent Color customization works if no Avatar image is provided. Also, removing your avatar image and the saved Accent Color take effect once again.
