How about a light grey. I dont think anything dark would be attractive.

Lindy, Why dont you do a computer image of the outside of your home like you can do with digital decorator and play with some schemes. You would instantly know if you like it or not!! Otherwise as Luke suggested, you need to decide if you want to contrast or blend?? I would certainly start off with a blend, as changing it to a deeper colour later would be far easier than trying to go back to a lighter colour if you decide you don't like it. Deep Ocean can look stunning with Jarrah but now that you have Monument I think you really need to stick to Windspray if your window frames are that colour otherwise I feel you will be introducing too many colours and you will spoil the elegant look of the home.

Unless you have the money to update everything else to better complement the bricks, painting them will give you a much more updated look. Over the past 18mths I’ve been working on the front and landscape of my current house, including painting the bricks and it has made the world of difference! I’ve attached a before and after photo! Good luck.

Whilst I don't totally love the beams and roof tones , they are pleasant enough and I wouldn't be too worried trying to change them -- it would take a lot of effort that may or may not be worth it . Or maybe I'm just lazy haha . BUT what I'd do is paint the walls -- maybe a bit creamier , maybe a blue or apricot tinge -- not a pastel , just a slight hint . OR embrace colours , go a pastel or a burgundy or sunshine yellow or forest green if you want , or maybe a strong feature wall colour and toned down versions on the others , with furniture and accessories to complement . Apart from the all white one of Julies pic's , the others all have a clear differentiation ( mostly through the use of the beams ) -- yours seems more 'barn-like' in the one tone -- yes , I know theres no furniture . But tio me , doing 'something' with the walls will work better than changing the ceiling tones -- especially with a light toned carpet , it will be too much 'nothing' in my view . Maybe you have bright furniture or art or cushions or rugs , but even then , upping the walls a notch or two won't hurt .
