is a monument roof and monument weatherboard cladding too dark?

Building new house - see attached some photos of drawings and concept photos.
Need some help with exterior colours. Thinking monument roof and monument linea cladding. But hubby thinks this might be too dark all together. Plenty of windows plus some stone cladding & bagged brickwork and timber in the deck to offset.
Thoughts? Or should we consider a different shade of grey for the cladding? Basalt?
Thanks

    It will look fabulous, anything you add to it like greenery from landscaping will look stunning. As you can see the dark colour sets a wonderful look.

    I think it will be fabulous. I really like this look. And as Julie Herbert has said, your greenery in the garden will make it even more special.

    I personally think it would be too dark -- do the roof and the trim in Monument , but do the walls in say surfmist and a 2nd lighter tone , or a steel blue and surfmist -- or go offwhite with cedar toned trim , or similar -- but Monument on Monument looks dark , warm when you want it cool , and dark and moody when it doesn't need to be .
