Presently, you can enable accent color in Microsoft Edge browser belonging to insider channels such as Canary and Dev.
Microsoft Edge brings the accent color that allows you to choose from 14 predefined colors “Light grey, dark grey, dark blue, medium blue, light pink, pink, mint, teal, grey blue, purple, red, yellow, orange, and green”. Currently, this option is controlled by the Flags and kept hidden as the experimental feature and available for Dev and Canary versions.

As the testing is completed you can directly set the accent color in Edge in the original version of the browser. This is in addition to the Light, Dark, and System Default which are already public within the appearance Settings of the browser.
