I'm keeping out of the color discussions, but I can answer this one.
The 'Beige' on the list IS what we know as Tan.
At LEGO, this color is known both as 'Brick Yellow' and also 'Beige' - color
number 05 on the LEGO color chip pallette.
Quite a few of the colors are known by different names in different parts of
the company.
Hope it helps,
Richard.
