need help choosing the color for log cabin

I like the beige too, but I would recommend eliminating the 2 or 3 fabrics that look to be mostly beige from your jelly roll if you can. If you can't, just be careful in your placement of those few fabrics. I'm looking forward to pics of your finished quilt.

Until I quilted, I never liked white and light beige together. Now I love them mixed! I'd use both the white and beige, probably more of the beige, but I'd eliminate the darker beiges from the jelly roll. And, if possible, I'd add other light beiges into the mix for the light halves of the blocks.

I think you will be very surprised at how the beige will let the colors 'pop'. White might just take over rather than let the batiks show off. If you are very much up in the air, make a sample of both. Put it up on a wall and leave it for a day. Every time you enter the room, be aware of your reaction to them. Yes, if fabric is tight, it will require taking one apart - BUT - it will let you make a truly informed decision rather than guessing.
