Malvidin, as in the hibiscus family pigments, not flavidin.

Betty,
The answer to your two questions is "YES", and "I DON'T KNOW", but ACCENT is a well known cultivar, and if it did have the same rare red pigment (flavidin?) I would think that would be fairly common knowledge among those who take an interest in such matters. Neil? Linda M? Griff? Others?
