I would coordinate with whatever was in the master bedroom so that there would be flow between the two rooms. It would disturb me greatly to move from a room with beige carpet to a bath with gray tile, for example.
I dislike neutral...I'd put in green or blue if it were me! My current bath is tiled in green with gray walls. One of these days I'm going to paint the walls a lighter shade of green.
We're planning to do natural stone tile on the floor and in the shower. White toilet, bathtub, and under mount sinks. I prefer a wood vanity (rather than painted), but the tone of the wood will be somewhat dependent on the tile color.
The other bath in the house is beige/tan with dark wood cabinetry. And it looks perfectly fine and nice, but just a bit dull overall. Since this is such a large room, I don't want it to be so dull. There are two windows to provide ample natural light so that helps. I like the cool beige idea rather than the warmer beige of the other bathroom.
I'd go with beige and blue details or accents, in inserts (if tile), it looks warm and fresh in the same time.
Don't buy metal sinks. They look modern, but we got two in the office - it's a disaster.

If you're not planning on selling the house any time soon put in whatever colors you want to live with - no need to limit that to gray or beige. According to the above you're looking to put in a vanity in the brown spectrum - that's a clue. You also state "natural stone floor." How natural? Natural gray or natural brown? That's another clue.
Regardless of what stone color you end up with you really should think about using some color other than gray or tan for the painted surfaces.
I would go with the beige. While gray is the color du jour, it will seem "dated" in a few years. If the bathroom is big enough you might consider a color from nature like blue or green but they must be the right shade. I painted my bathrooms a light taupe and use color in my towels, shower curtain, etc.
I find it amusing that folks are claiming beige is more classic, timeless. No, beige was not a color used in early 1900s bathrooms which is usually used as a staring point to define "classic". Personally, beige feels dated to me and the only thing classic about it is it was especially trendy in the 90s and early 2000s. Now = "Dated trendy."
Really though, don't ask the internet. The pictures of bathrooms you positively react to Pinterest or Houzz should be enough to tell you what suits your style and aesthetics best.
If I wanted to look at hard surface grey walls all the time I would have enlisted in the Navy and requested sea duty.
"Beige" is neither fish nor fowl.
How about white with color being added through decorations, or a color? Personally, I've had bathrooms in white; goldish beige; pink; green (two different times); blue; gold; and a weird combination of brown and blue that sounds horrible and looked great.
If you specify white tile and use paint to achieve color, you can change it any time you want for at most a couple hundred bucks.
