I believe that others on here have already decided that those seats are Cream Beige.

Of course. They're Auburn!!
At least in the US, the ordering guide refers to 'Cream Beige' for Dakota leather only and 'Beige' for Nasca Leather and Leatherette...

I'm still wondering if there are now 2 beige variants depending on what kind of leather you order.

Yup. At least in the US . . . "Leatherette" and Nasca are old beige. Dakota is new creme beige.
I saw the cream beige this weekend in a 6 series and didn't like it as it is so white...
It looks like it would be even more work to keep clean...

Anyone know if natural brown will be a two-tone or not?
It's single-tone on the 7 series but there are no pics or confirmation from BMW yet on how this will look in the E60 LCI.

Here's anothyer guy waiting for that answer - I've ordered my E61 with natural brown and I am eager to see what I have done... 
Oh well, I can still change my order until May/June so probably I need to wait until the LCI-cars turns up at the dealers.
But, my dealer said that the "plastic" will be black with natural brown. But, he could be wrong...

From the marketing materials that we've seen, it appears that all interiors are two-tone with black on the upper dash and all four upper doors.
The only new thing for the LCI is that the upper door trim is now black with inlaid trim.
When people say 2-tone, I think they are really referring to the following
(i) the carpets are black as opposed to being the same colour as the seats
(ii) lower door plastic black as opposed to being the same colour as the seats
(iii) lower dash plastic is black as opposed to being the same colour as the seats
