Help me narrow my search! Thanks.

Pottery Barn lists the colors of each room on their website. They are Benjamin Moore colors. If you have a Benjamin Moore, you can pick up the paint swatches there and get them color matched at any paint store.

We did that with DD's room and it was the perfect shade without having to dig through hundreds of options. We got the paint color matched in Olympic no VOC paint at Lowes. 

Here's Benjamin Moore Blue Nova 825:

And here's a link to their design studio with a list of colors for boys' rooms.

This is their regular pottery barn color called Van Courtland blue:

If you go to "shop by rooms" on pbkids and look at boys' rooms, there are more options.

We used Bibbity Boppity Blue when DS was an infant. It is a Disney color - you can get it at Home Depot.

We used Dreaming Blue by Behr from Home Depot. On the wall (or at least on ours) it reminds me of the color of robin eggs.

We used Sherwin William's "windy blue" for our office, and it is working out nicely for our future DS's room too!

Sherwin Williams Meditative Blue. It is divine!

We painted our nursery a beautiful sky blue. We aren't finding out the sex, so we wanted something that would be appropriate for a little boy or a little girl. The paint color is Valspar Fountain Mist and we color matched it to Olympic Zero VOC in a satin finish. Olympic was the only brand sold at a big box store that had a zero voc option, which was important to us. 

I can't get a picture to upload, but you can see some shots from our nursery here:
