I think you troubles are in the shadow areas Art.
you are close but I think the image will look better when you get the shadows in place.

Thanks Greg, I fixed the shadows. Also tried to do better with the walls, but they still seem to have a magenta cast, even though I adjusted the RGB numbers to be the same. Of course, the walls are highly non-uniform in colour, so that adjusting one part makes another part worse. Open to suggestions  :-

Cheers,
Art

Don't count on the walls for a neutral you might find one but it will be hit or miss.  Look for other things that can be neutral in the image and in the mid tone areas.  You are actually pretty close there but I see your point about the stones.

Also try to open the shadows a bit in the window and the background...there is detail you want to recover.
