I actually think your beige is one of the best colors for a 123 sedan. You're going for a stock+ look, so it works great.

I don't care for the Red with Black Coupe. Too 1960s American looking. One of my neighbors had the same combination on a 1967 ElCamino SS. It was a really neat car, and totally gorgeous in every way, it's just that that color combo will always remind me of it. Of course, that car is probably worth $100k today. I like red with black wagons though...reminds me of my old Radio Flyer.

My car has the most boringest color. Pastel gray on Black. If I ever paint it, I think I'll change it. I like the way smoke silver looks with black. My tastes would be different if I was going for a sporty look. Dark blues do look good with sportier wheels and lowered suspensions.

There's a neat one on Ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150378920266&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#v4-37 Main difference is the wheels, but they look great on that car.
