For what it's worth, I fooled around with this in PhotoShop and put in a violet background, in various values, as a complement to the yellows in the sweater and the flesh tones. I rather liked the effect, you might investigate it (violet or a violet-red). To go beige or tan "might" reduce the contrast between the flesh tones and the background more than you'd like, but I admit I forgot to experiment with that. Anyway, with a background more removed in value, colour and/or temperature, you could afford to get some colour into those highlights, which I suspect are as white as they are now because they had to be to compete with the bright, hot yellow background.
Just some notions, from the five-and-dime. Two-for-one sale today.
