The correct answer is French.

The word beige (which represents a color similar to the color of sand) most recently comes from French. The English language contains a lot of words borrowed from other languages, and French is one of the biggest 'inspirations.' Although it is unknown what the very first language of origin of the word beige is, the most recent is definitely French.
