Paint Colour Help - Bedding is "Boys' Lahaina" from PBK

DH wants me to pick paint colous, and since I haven't ordered the bedding yet - I wondered if anyone has this and has a paint suggestion.  We use Benjamin Moore paint, so we could use Pottery Barn paint colour, but wish they would tell me which colours work.

Oh, and the room has white shutters, and we're thinking a white crib.

I know this is a long shot, but thought I'd ask.

TIA.

    PB website shows the set with white walls which I think look really great against the blues and greens in the bedding. 

    We just painted our master bedroom walls a fairly dark, cool-toned blue and have white trim and white shutters. I LOVE the look but our room is large.  If the nursery is small then you really don't want dark colors.  And light colors with the bedding below...I'm not sold on that idea.

    I don't know - I thought the nursery looked too white with all the white walls and furniture.  So, I was thinking a blue/green of some description. The other option is, that since were going with IKEA furniture the crib/dresser can come in this neat washed out grey colour.  https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/30192922/ Thoughts on that with white walls?

    I would take the bedding once you get it to a Benjamin Moore store and have them color match whatever your favorite color(s) are.

    We did that with PBK's Jungle safari and painted the top half of the walls light blue and light green stripes, and put a chair rail on the middle of the wall with white paint on the lower half of the wall.

    Maybe paint the walls the light blue color and do navy accents? That would make things like the white shutters and what not pop.
