Flooring and Paint

Unfortunately, we lost a couple of days of work due to me not being able to make a decision on tile and paint colors.  My biggest problem was the master bath; I ended up changing it three times before I just threw in the towel and chose something.  The first was too white, the second was too brown, and I hope the third will be just right!  
Looking into laundry room from kid's hallway.
Hallway entrance from garage.
Upstairs bath.
I also confirmed all paint choices this week.  
Portico for the master bed and bath:
Portico SW 7548
Useful Gray in the upstairs bonus on walls and ceiling.

Useful Gray SW 7050
Balanced Beige for son's bed and bath:
Balanced Beige SW 7037
Silvermist for daughter's room:
Silvermist SW 7621
Rice Grain for the entry, dining, great, den, kitchen, study, laundry, and office nook:

Rice Grain SW 6155
All trim will be Dover White SW 6385.  

After a few weeks of nothing really to see, other than a new coat of drywall mud, I'm ready to start seeing some progress!  Cabinets delivered on the 22nd!

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?
