Marked as in the one selected?

This is just your highlight color. At least it is for me. You can change that in the appearance pref pane.

Read Adam's post. System Preferences, not Adium preferences.

ok, then i understand..
but before the color was purple in adium, and on next startup it was blue - without me messing with systemprefs/appearance. doesnt that mean that it isnt really affected by the setup in sys.prefs?

It's always blue in the sidebar (or grey if you use the graphite theme), so maybe that's what you're looking at?
