Why is my virtual keyboard like this?

Hello all.

I'm on a rMBP 15, latest macos sierra and I wonder why my virtual keyboard is like this:

What are those 2 keys orange?

The one on the right is an apostrophe, the one on the left would be better understood if you go to the link below.

Yes but why is it orange?

I don't know...I thought you highlighted them because you asked "What are those 2 keys orange?" 😀

The orange represent accent characters to add to the next inputed letter. hold down the key, other things will show
