I think that the beige thing is just the fashion equivalent of the other part of the formula of "Wear beige and keep your mouth shut."  That is, beige is the color equivalent of keeping your mouth shut -- i.e., letting the MOB be the focus, not the MOG.  (Not saying I agree with that!  Just that that is my understanding of the beige thing.)

I have been both MOG and MOB.  I wrote about my son's wedding above.  At my daughter's, when I was the MOB, I don't remember whether the MOG or I got our dress first, and I definitely did not care -- I never even thought about it until now.  I think I did.  But my daughter didn't care what color anyone wore.  My dress was black with magenta, the MOG wore gold, the MOH wore dark navy, and the bridesmaids (the bride's sister-in-law and the groom's sisters) wore black, navy (2), and flamingo orange (!). 
 
Boy, was I ever involved in the groom's mom's and three sisters' dresses, although not in selection.  For some reason, they all wanted to order from the US.  So my daughter had the dresses they wanted to try delivered to my house.  I had to take pictures and send them, and then ship them the choices (which is NOT cheap!).  And in an amusing irony, I bought my dress in their country!
