Exterior Paint Problems

Help!  It seems that my choice of windows are causing a bit of a problem with our paint choices, so that means we're back to the drawing board.  
Not the best picture of the stone, but it's a natural fieldstone with lots of grays and tans.
This was our first choice, SW Backdrop. The problem is it's way too close to the Atrium Clay window color.  Also, it looks much more gray in this picture than it does on the paint chip.  

We like the color but now thinking it would be better on the trim.  So what should the main color be?  Nothing too light.  Nothing too gray.  Nothing too brown.
SW Accessible Beige
SW Backdrop
SW Balanced Beige
The middle color is what we're thinking for the trim.  Would you do the Accessible Beige or Balance Beige for the main brick color?  Next question- what color would you paint the hardieboard shingles?

    Hi! I'm benjesbride from Garden Web/ Houzz. If I were you I'd seriously consider a pro to get the paint colors just right. It's cheaper than repainting. I have followed Maria Killam's blog for years and would recommend her to a friend for such a decision. You can search her blog mariakillam.com for tips on choosing exterior paint, but if I were in your shoes I'd just hire her to help you out. Here's her services link: https://ss157.infusionsoft.com/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=48
