Exterior Paint Colors

Hi there, I’m looking for some inputs on paint colors. Ideally SW brand as I’ve had bad color matches in the past.

I was thinking of doing SW iron ore on the trim (including front trim around the windows) and sw peppercorn on the lap siding. There will be a cypress tongue and groove soffit and 6x8 cypress kicker beams. My question what color do I stain/ paint the kickers. In the original mockup they are the same as the trim, however there is contrast between the cedar and the beams. Now that area is peppercorn and I’m worried the whole thing will look too dark.

Thinking the foundation would be SW cityscape, the stone on the chimney is Gray Tennessee Flagstone and the deck will be dark gray Trex (clamshell).

Should I change the whole body color to be a bit lighter? What SW might look like the dark rendering? Alternatively, keep the peppercorn and what do I stain the beams? Thoughts?

Original rendering, dark rendering, as built, peppercorn/ iron ore inspo

Thanks!!
