Another vote for a bold-ass orange.
Chalkboard paint and lots of colored chalk. Let the kids go wild on it. Park it at the track and charge a buck for every kid that wants to write on it. Give the money to charity or buy more beer.
Last page I recommended Nitro Green. I also like the bold Orange and Purple suggestions. I guess in general, my advice is do not try to compliment the beige but rather just ignore the beige and add the accent color that you want the car to be.
Said another way, treat the beige as "invisible" and put in the color that you want. Make that added color bold and the beige will disappear even more. The more panels you take off the car, the less beige there will actually be anyway.

I mean, this does have a pretty solid theme to go with it. Purlpe flames, puuuuurple flames.

Honestly, yes
I have about 20. Hope you like hammered bronze and bedliner

I’m figuring if a theme hasn’t been chosen before I leave for Florida, I’ll be hauling some down, too.
Since this is an Avalon, You should do a imitation Avalon King symbol/livery on it. Then put sorry Casey on it. Maybe we could atagonize him into having Genius Garage build a challenge car next year. (Only relevant if you have seen the Avalon King Zero supercar build on YouTube that Casey Putsch is doing)
Color theory would say Purple/pink are most complimentary to beige. That said black/green would look good. I don't like Red/beige or Silver/beige personally. Split compliment would be blue/red.

I'll bring whatever i have laying around. Ancient half cans of paint should FMV at zero, right?
In reply to eastsideTim :
I generally take them to the back yard and shoot them with a pellet gun, so I'd say that's a fair assessment.
I'm bringing Rust-Oleum Hammered in "burnished amber." I also have an old can of paint that I had color-matched to a 73 Impala wagon that was this color:
I call it School Bus on Acid.
Actual picture of my car.... and it's sitting right next to this year's challenge winner, LoPrep's Impala SS:
