I'd say keep it white.  It hides dings and is very low maintenance.  Easy to touch-up/paint match too.  Flat black has been 'played out' and would look weird with smooth black.  Olive Drab and Tan will fade into an oxidized color after a while.  The problem with flat paints is that you can't really do any maintenance on them.  Once you start washing it and rubbing on the paint they wills start to gloss.  it's also kind of hard to get even coats with a can.  You can usually spot transitions and high and low spots unless you shoot it with a HVLP gun to get it evened out.

If I was going to paint it OD or Tan, I would paint all the accessories the same color.  There is a OD TJ on the forums someplace, too.

Flat black is the worst color to maintain to grease prints and everything show up on it and it looks like ass or black primer incomplete job to me

i vote keep it white (but that's cause mine is white lol) I think the white with black gloss, or even flat black accessories makes the jeep stand out real nice. Same can be acheived i think with the tan, esp if the black accessories are nice and sharp. so i vote tan if you MUST change.
