Color accent on Canon Powershot s5IS?

Question

How do you set different colors to show through on the color accent feature on the Canon Powershot s5 IS?

I'm very confused. Right now its just green coming through but I'm not sure how to set other colors.

You first need to put the camera in SCN mode on the mode dial.  Then scroll left or right using the arrow keys on the back of the camera until you are in the Color Accent mode.  Now press the ISO button.  Zoom in to the object with the color you want to keep and press the Left arrow key.  Try to get the color inside the little square that appears on the viewfinder/LCD.  If you don't quite get the right color, press the Left arrow again.  Once you have the color you want, press the ISO button again.  Now you can capture your image.
