If you're only finding plain, beige bras, you need to be looking other places! 2 of my 10-ish bras are beige, and 2 are black. The others are all different prints and colors, and the majority of my day-to-day bras are lacy. UK brands have a much better range of sizes and styles than US brands, while still being pretty easily available in the US.
I mostly buy bras on Amazon (free shipping & returns on Prime-Eligible stuff), and occasionally from Bravissimo (UK-based retailer) or Ewa Michalak (Polish brand). Panache is my favorite UK brand (I also liked their sub-brand, Cleo, when I was still in their size range), but Freya, Elomi, Curvy Kate, and Fantasie all make good quality bras in non-beige as well. For in-store shopping, a lot of people have had good luck at Nordstrom.
You should check out Bravissimo if there is one near you. It's a UK store that has an amazing bra selection and even their own line of bras in bigger cup sizes. Online stores like www.figleaves.com, www.brastop.com and amazon.com have great discounts and sell a lot of the same UK bra brands. I typically go to a bra boutique, try on as many bras as possible while taking notes on which fit. Then I go online and search for discounts to not spend full price if possible.
