Beige is pretty basic and is a neutral. You can pretty much choose whatever colour you like. Choose the sofa first, and then pick the paint colour to match the sofa. If you are unsure about colours, take a swatch (or one curtain) with you to the store, and hold it against the sofa to see if it goes. For example, if you picked a moss green sofa, you could go with beige slightly lighter for the main walls, maybe a moss green similar to the sofa for a wall opposite the sofa as a feature, and a darker moss green or a darker tan similar in tone to the beige for a second feature, or an adjacent hallway or what have you.

The other consideration is your flooring. If you have hardwood, you also have a fairly easy colour match. If you have carpet, get the sofa to match the carpet. You wouldn't go for a sage green sofa if you had a blue carpet.
