There are a bunch of colors that look good and with the right effort, most of them can be made to look jaw dropping.
But what about a beige appliance?
These cars are great at picking up for a low low price, getting you from point A to B and not being noticed, by anyone, ever.
So what would you do to make a beige car stand out?
There is 1 rule. You CAN NOT change the color of the car. Resprays are not allowed.
GO!
Wrap isn’t a respray. Otherwise nothing can be done. No gold/beige car has ever looked hot in the history or cardom. It’s a body line killing color.
Retain the beige stealth mode!
I hate that I'm suggesting this, but maybe spray the wheels a bit darker. Not flat black murdered out rattle can nastiness, but maybe a darker grey or gunmetal. Something about the light silver wheels makes beige cars that much worse for me.
The only other thing that I can think of is lowering the car a bit. Obviously dependent on the type of vehicle but I've seen a few good looking beige cars that had subtle suspension changes.
Change the wheels and tires. Seriously. That can make everything better.
Black Plastidip
Granted, its hard to find more appliancy appliction of the concept, but those examples should show how breaking the gold up a bit can spice it up a lot.
Add a little or a lot of green (or black) to make is a little more interesting. Not a complete respray, just part of the car...
Respray is cheaper than a wrap isn't it?
Find a color that works with tan, beige, gold like maroon, copper or black and put some bold striping about.

My Alfa is that color. What helps it a lot is very shiny chrome- it pops really nicely (but there isn't that much of it). And the yellow fog lamps.
I'd also be on with wheel changes, but I'm keeping the originals and the Panasports I have.
Fender Flairs and bold graphics ala Lexus LS400
G-body Buick Regal offered The Somerset Edition which had a factory option for tan and blue two tone. I'm not sure if I would call it sporty but I always thought it was an attractive combination.
The color combo carried into the interior also...
Add more gold - wheels, bumpers, teeth, etc.
1990 Acura Legend. Lowered, rare JDM wheels (Sprint-Hart CP-Fs), rare JDM clear corner lights and headlamps (instead of having a seperate high and low beam, they had a dual-element bulb and an integrated foglamp), wood-grain steering wheel, twin tip muffler, modified Mugen Accord lip. It was a cool, comfortable cruiser.
White wheels are a great idea. White graphic would look good too.
More low, favorite flavor of Mustang wheel, loud exhaust, maybe a supercharger that's too big to fit under the hood....

I came here to say this but someone beat me to it. For some reason I always found the Forest/Hunter/BR/DARK green cars with gold trim extremely good looking as a kid/teenager. Still think it's a classy combo to this day. Try it in reverse. Green striping/trim/wheels.
Stripes, lot of stickers including GRM's.

Wow - look at how smooth his hands are on the wheel and shifter. AMAZING!
Why try to make a beige car stand out? You've got an invisible car. Play up that aspect instead. Use the car's fundamental strength!
30's duh.

Or get low.
Yup. Any color looks great riding 2 inches off the ground. Always add more lowness.
