Paint color for new home

We're closing on a new home later this month that was built in the mid 80's. We're used to living in newer homes with white doors, trim, etc. There's a lot more wood in the house than we're used to and struggling with picking a paint color. We want a lighter, neutral color for most of the house and will add accent colors later. Gray is what we lean towards but I'm not sure if it'll go with the wood tones. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what colors would look best? Is any shade of gray even possible? If so, any specifics? We don't plan to paint any of the woodwork.

Here are a few pictures of the house with the current owner's things.
