Junction Boxes & Splicing Romex

Hi. I would like to put in a stairway between a utility room in my house and the space above my garage which is adjacent to the utility room but 4 feet higher as it is a split level house design. The new doorway will have 10 romex wires running across the middle of the doorway.
I would like to splice these wires with junction boxes to run around the door frame.
How many wires (12/2) can I put in each junction box? What size box should I use? Is blue plastic okay? These boxes will be accessible in the attic space.
Thank you all very much for your input.
