It's true that babies can't see colors at first. I've noticed a huge wave of gray these days in home decor, fabric, etc. I never liked it but I'm starting to. In fact we painted some of our walls in gray tones and it's so peaceful!
When I was little my Mom dressed me in blue a lot because of my eyes and it's still my favorite color to wear. I also love red on most people.

I'd rather match the color to the person. There was some sort of a program about 30 years ago that did that. They held up swatches of color to the complexion of the person and I thought that really worked for me. If I remember correctly, my ruddy complexion requires a light blue or an apricot.

But, I whole heartedly agree on the "pickiness". I would have and am grateful for every handmade item. Regardless of medium or fabric choice. I choose to revel in the talent and the love a gift was given.
That being said, you can't go wrong in blues, greens, reds, browns, grays and blacks for boys. I have at least 2 men in my family that love orange. And, it looks fantastic with gray. Maybe try for fabric in solids, geometrics or texture prints like chambray. (Connecting Threads has a great collection of Chambray fabrics.https://www.connectingthreads.com/fa...y-tonals/c/391) I'm not affiliated with them. I just like the texture prints. There's also some fantastic grunge prints out there now also.
