Another one you could throw in there is Heuchera. I don't have the link handy, but I was looking recently on the Terra Nova Nurseries site, and they have pics of some incredible shade containers that really had the WOW factor. At least I'm pretty sure it was that site. Shoulda bookmarked it, darn it.

My favorite annual for a little color in the shade is Torenia Moon series. There is one now that is yellow and purple, I think. I also like the "Fusion" impatiens. I love Begonias, too. For some reason, my Coleus always gets chomped to bits, so every year I say I'm not gonna do Coleus (but I always do, lol)

This is Torenia "Magenta Moon", with "Sinbad" Begonia. I'll be trying other Begonias this year. Found a really cool metallic purple looking one..."Savannah Bay", I think it was called.
