Delph - A Bridge Too Grey

The plastic structure of the bridge is now complete - parapets clad, capping stones added, etc and I've sprayed it with Halfords grey plastic primer in preparation for painting the stone surfaces.
Whilst most of the local buildings, including the station and coal drops are millstone grit, my colour photos of the actual bridge show it to be made of a grey coloured stone. I'm not sure whether to try to replicate this or adopt a similar colour to the other stone-work, for a more consistent appearance, especially as I've moved the bridge much nearer to the station features than the real thing.
Two shots from the Greenfield side.....
...and one from the station side. The short extension at ground level is a small retaining wall at the bottom of the cutting.
Next job is to paint and ballast the track through the bridge, which has already been primed, so it can be permanently fixed to the base-board.
