Also, considering the color of the exterior, I was thinking of a light off white/beige but according to our designer gray is the most popular. Are darker colors less likely to show mold?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!
Stretch the home wherever you can. Including the garage. We stretched the garage 4 feet deeper and everyone who sees it wishes they had done it. It is a tremendous amount of extra space. Much cheaper to do it when home is built. Have pool built at same time if you are putting one in. Don’t have to rip out lanai, landscaping, and sprinkler system. Or put up with the mess later.
