How big is the room and how much natural light does it get? Those two blues you just linked are very pretty but if it's a smaller space and/or doesn't get much light, that could be a bit dark.

Bedroom is roughly 14X12 . . . the whole west side of the room is glass; also a big picture window facing north.

Oh, then go for it! I personally like the Mediterranean one more, it's a little bit softer, and is actually very close to the color I have in my master bedroom.
I'd buy samples of both of the ones you like and paint big swatches of both on all the walls and see which one looks best in your room with the furniture and bedding.
What kind of light does the master bath have? I used the same color strip but went with the blue 2 shades lighter in my master bath because it's interior and doesn't have the natural light that the bedroom has. They go great together, but the lighter shade brightens up the bath

I think with this much light coming in and not a huge amount of wall space, you can go with a more dramatic darker color.
But that Stratton Blue is very pretty - I'd add that one to the sample and paint swatches of it too. There is really no substitute to getting up a nice big patch of color in the actual room IMO. With the water's edge color I used in my bedroom, I had actually been planning on getting the next lighter shade but when I saw it in the room, it didn't have the impact I was looking for and the somewhat darker shade works better.
I'm thinking fresh and airy---like a West Elm look---I'd look for a beachy color to go with the brown.
If you want dramatic, I'd go brighter instead of darker. A crisper, clearer color instead of a muted, muddied color. I'd avoid a grey base. I'd also try to get a blue that has red in it since you have west facing and north facing windows.
