Navy blue, burgundy & tan is another option. If they hadn't eliminated white - black, red & white makes for an interesting combo - you could substitute light gray for the white.

When I was in NY I purchased Hoffman's Jelly Roll called Bali Pop in their pistashio (Ok, so I can't spell, LOL) line. It is 40 colors in greens, browns and blues, from lights to darks. I am making that for my DH, he loves the colors. But he also will wear a pink shirt so I don't know what to tell you, LOL.

How about brown, black and beige with a hint of burgundy? Those could be very manly colors and they are very rich looking together.

Ask for paint chips. You want to match their bedroom first.

I made our quilt for the bedroom from purples, greys, greens and creams ... thankfully my hubby likes purple ... but I think that with a more simple graphic pattern (squares & rectangles) it becomes less gender specific.

I know you said not to ask....but I've got to ask...what the heck is a color theorist???
