Help needed!!! Our Palermo!

Ok guys, I need some help.  I was planning a creative blog post to announce this but sometimes life throws you a curve and you have to go with it.  We are building a house and I need your help!  (Yes I am very excited! I will do an official blog post about the experience later, but I need help now.)

Tomorrow we have to finalize our exterior colors and I don't know what to do!  The colors that I debated about and finally decided on, based on other homes in the neighborhood, are no longer an option.  So, please tell me your opinion.  We are leaning more towards one, but are still unsure. 

Sorry for the bad quality, it is the only picture I can find with our particular elevation.  It will be exactly as seen.  If you look, it has two types of siding.  There is shake-over the porch and garage then beaded siding on the rest of the house.  We HAVE TO choose two DIFFERENT colors.
 These are the options that we have it semi-narrowed down to.  We are using the type of stone in the picture (Conestoga) because our top choice (Bucks County) is used next door so we can't use it.
On the left side we have our greys.  The lighter one is silver mist and the darker is graphite grey.
On the right we have our browns.  The lighter one is Natural Almond and the darker is Pebble Clay.
The shutter/door colors we narrowed it down to are navy, black or maroon.
 Or you can tell me other options you like.  Maybe Pebble Clay and Sandy Tan?
 I am a very visual person, so here are a few houses (not our plan) using Silver mist (lighter) and Graphite Grey (darker).
This last house uses Pebble Clay and Sandy Brown I think. 
So please, comment on what you like and don't be offended if we choose something different!  This is just a huge decision and I am feeling indecisive since my favorite option is out!  Thanks for your help and I will post more later!

There is a home in our development with the Silver Mist and graphite gray and not sure of stone color but it is absolutely beautiful. I stop and look at it every time I am in the community.
