contrasti/stacchi/accenti cromatici
Explanation:
Non sono sfumature (morbide), bensì stacchi di colore, a mio avviso.

disagree  Pierluigi Bernardini: credo sia il contrario, "accents" secondo me sta per "contrasti"//ah sorry, non avevo capito, però cambia di poco, perché poi resta comunque fuori "accents".

  -> sì, ma il 'morbide/armoniose si riferiva a 'flowing'!

"Description: Male, Suit, Stripe Coat, Different Colour Accents"
http://www.holidayonicecostumes.com/?costume=ROM06

"2) Colour Accents
In winter it is generally accepted that we tone down the colours in our wardrobe, but it doesn’t mean doing away with it altogether. Instead, pick one colour and either wear it on top or on the bottom, or go with an accent such as a scarf, stockings, a cardigan or a vest. An accent colour is supposed to stand out from the other pieces you are wearing. It’s a great way to bring colour into your outfit. For example if you like wearing darker colours in winter, then a lovely aqua scarf or cardigan might look lovely with your brown cords and a grey jumper.

"You can work colour into our winter wardrobe in other more subtle and flattering ways such as a statement jacket, capitalising on colour accents, bright accessories, coloured shoes and dresses."

"Pick complementary colours or themes to go with colour accents or tones. Sometimes a brightly coloured, chunky necklace paired with a similar coloured cardigan is all that is needed to perk up a black or bland outfit."
