How To Incorporate Colour Palette So Rooms Play Nice Together?

It's taking me forever to get my house done! Working 6 (usually) days a week does not help, nor does it help that I am doing it by myself (husband has health issues). I know the look I like, but not how to put it together. Here are the basics:

-very small shoe box house

-3 small bedrooms; two north facing (Ontario, Canada) and one south facing

-would like rooms to work together

-would like to incorporate grays, blues, beige, creams, wood - think natural, and sort of beach colours

-My starting point has been the south facing bedroom, which I painted BM OC-23 Classic Gray. It has a blue, white, gray duvet cover (here) and a pine bed that has not been finished yet. Don't know if I should stain or paint the frame.

-small bathroom, south facing, most likely a very light blue. Will be putting wood on walls to look like shiplap.

I need help with a colour for the other two bedrooms, but I want them the same. They are both small rooms and north facing. The Classic Gray is too pale for the dark rooms. I think I need a medium tone with a good LRV. Two colours that I currently have made large sample boards with are BM Manchester Tan and SW Agreeable Gray, but not sure if they work with the look I'm going for. Ben Moore is easier for me to get than the Sherwin Williams due to where I live.

I like the look of these together.

Floor plan similar to this:

I like this: this.

Remove the yellow, add blue and I like the look of this.

Remove the sailboats and paddle, and I like this

Ideas and opinions very greatly appreciated.
