Default changing color of electrical outlet & switch plates

I need to change the all the beige cover plates to a dark green in my
theater room. Probably I won't paint the actual toggle or round
outlet, but just the cover plate. Will Rustoleum or Krylon paint for
plastics work well? What are my other choices?

Krylon should work fine.
If you really want to make them disappear, paint
them with the same paint used on the wall; paint
everything that shows. Or, if the walls are
papered, you can cover them with the same wall
paper. I've got a dentist that has a bathroom
with the highly patterned wall paper, and one
really has to hunt for the light switch.
